Taingda Mingyi U Pho (Burmese: တိုင်တား မင်းကြီး ဦးဘိုး, pronounced [táiɰ̃dà mɪ́ɰ̃dʑí ʔú pʰó]; c. 1820s – 31 May 1896) was a Burmese official of the royal courts of King Mindon and King Thibaw during the Konbaung dynasty.[1][2] He became the most powerful official at King Thibaw's court and held several key positions, including Minister of the Interior, Minister of Defense, and Senior Minister of the Hluttaw. Taingda was seen as an opponent of Kinwun Mingyi U Kaung and the leader of the conservative faction that advocated for war with the British.[3]
