Zein Pun (Burmese: ဇိတ်ပွန် [zeɪʔ pʊ̀ɴ]; 1295–1330) was the fifth king of the Hanthawaddy Kingdom in Burma. A court official at Martaban Palace, he seized the throne for seven days in 1330 after the death of King Saw Zein in the battlefield of Prome.[2] Zein Pun's reign was short. Saw Zein's chief queen Sanda Min Hla organized a putsch, and handed the throne to Saw E, son of Saw O and the princess of Sukhothai.
