This is a list of rulers of Martaban (Mottama), one of the three main Mon-speaking provinces of Lower Burma, from the 13th to 17th centuries. Martaban was the capital of Hanthawaddy Kingdom (Ramanya) from 1287 to 1364.

Notes

↑ Burmese chronicles do not agree on when Wareru seized the governorship, or when he officially declared himself king. Hmannan Yazawin (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 351) and Pak Lat Chronicles (Pan Hla 2004: 23) say that Wareru came to power in 643 ME (28 March 1281 to 29 March 1282). Yazawin Thit (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 148) gives 646 ME (28 March 1284 to 27 March 1285) after the Mongols occupied northern Burma; since the Mongols defeated the last Burmese stand on 26 January 1285, Wareru presumably came to power in sometime between 26 January 1285 and 27 March 1285. But the Burmese language Razadarit Ayedawbon by Binnya Dala per (Pan Hla 2004: 23) says Wareru revolted in 648 ME (29 March 1286 to 28 March 1287).
