Tin Tut (Burmese: တင်ထွဋ်, pronounced: [tɪ̀ɴ tʰʊʔ]; 1 February 1895 – 18 September 1948) was the first Foreign Minister of the Union of Burma, and the Minister of Finance in Aung San's pre-independence government. Dulwich and Cambridge educated Tin Tut was the first Burmese to become an Indian Civil Service officer. He was Prime Minister Aung San's deputy in the government.[1] He was wounded but survived the shooting on 19 July 1947 that claimed the lives of Aung San and six other cabinet ministers.[2] He was assassinated in September 1948.
