Shwe Hpyin Naungdaw ({{lang|my|ရွှေဖျင်းနောင်တော်}} {{IPA|my|ʃwèbjɪ́ɰ̃ nàʊɰ̃dɔ̀|}}; {{lit|Goldpot the Elder}}), also called Shwe Hpyin Gyi ({{lang|my|ရွှေဖျင်းကြီး}} {{IPA|my|ʃwèbjɪ́ɰ̃ dʑí|}}) or Min Gyi ({{lang|my|မင်းကြီး}} {{IPA|my|mɪ́ɰ̃ dʑí|}}), is one of the 37 nats in the official pantheon of Burmese nats. He is the elder brother of Shwe Hpyin Nyidaw and the son of Popa Medaw, another nat. Worshippers of this nat avoid consumption of pork, as Shwe Hpyin Gyi's father, Byatta, is believed to have been an Indian Muslim.{{cite news|url=http://www.irrawaddy.org/archives/42088|title=Myanmar’s Multicultural Spirits|last=Gilbert|first=David|date=15 August 2013|work=The Irrawaddy|accessdate=8 September 2013}}
