Yadanabon Market (Burmese: ရတနာပုံဈေး) is Mandalay's second largest market, located between 77th and 33nd and 34rd streets, near the Mandalay Central Railway Station.[1][2] The market is now located beside the Diamond Plaza.

The market was previously housed on the ground floor of a five storey complex called Skywalk Shopping Mall, which included a shopping mall on the first floor, and restaurants and offices of the Trading Association and MICT Park on the second floor.[1][2] The shopping mall had been built in 2003.[3]

A major fire destroyed Yadanabon Market in February 2008.[2] The fire blazed for more than 13 hours, destroying over 1,558 shops and injuring 21 people.[4]

In 2009, It was reconstructed as Diamond Plaza and Yadanabon Super Centre.
