Akhamaman (Burmese: အခမမန်း,[note 1] pronounced [ʔə kʰa̰ mə máɴ]; also known as Akhamwun (အခမွန်, [ʔə kʰa̰ mʊ̀ɴ]); d. c. 1287) was the self-proclaimed king of Pegu, in modern Myanmar, with the title of Thunekkhat Yaza (သုနက္ခတ် ရာဇာ) from 1285 to c. 1287. He was one of several regional strongmen who emerged during the final years of the Pagan Empire in the 1280s. As the ruler of Pegu, he successfully fended off two attacks by King Narathihapate's forces. After the victory, however, he became deeply unpopular for his increasingly autocratic rule, and was assassinated.
