Daing Khin Khin (Burmese: ဒိုင်းခင်ခင်; also spelt Dine Khin Khin, born Khin Khin Gyi, circa 1863 – April 1882), also known as Mi Khingyi (Burmese: မိခင်ကြီး), was a Burmese noblewoman and royal concubine of Thibaw Min, the last monarch of the Konbaung dynasty.

To marry her, King Thibaw made a solemn promise to ensure her safety within the palace and grant her the royal title of the Queen of the Northern Palace. He swore that if he were to break this promise, he would forfeit his throne, potentially leading to the downfall of the dynasty. The king did not fulfill his promise, and Daing Khin Khin was executed by Supayalat while she was pregnant.
