Hlaingthaya Township

Hlaingthaya Township (Burmese: လှိုင်သာယာ မြို့နယ်, pronounced [l̥àiɰ̃θàjà mjo̰nɛ̀]; also spelt Hlaing Tharyar and Hlinethaya) is located in the western part of Yangon, Myanmar. In the 2010s, it was the most populous townships in the country. The township contained 15% of Yangon's urban population and had a major industrial and factory presence. While Hlaingthaya is a largely working class suburb, developers have also built luxury housing developments in the southeastern part of the township.

In 2020, the township was split into two districts- Hlaingthaya East Township and Hlaingthaya West Township. In 2022, the two townships were split off from North Yangon District into the newly formed Insein District. Prior to these changes, the township comprised 20 wards and nine village tracts and shared borders with Htantabin Township in the north and west, Insein Township, Mayangon Township, and Hlaing Township in the east across the Yangon River, and Twante Township in the south.
