Pazzawta (Burmese: ပဇ္ဇော်တ,[note 1] [pəzɔ̀ta̰] or [pɪʔzɔ̀ta̰]) was governor of Prome (Pyay) from c. 1288 to 1305.[1] He was chief minister of Viceroy Thihathu of Prome. According to the Yazawin Thit chronicle, Pazzawta became the de facto governor after Thihathu's death, and was later formally appointed governor by King Kyawswa of Pagan.[1] Main chronicles do not mention him at all.[note 2]
