Nay Toe (Burmese: နေတိုး; pronounced [nè tó]; born Nay Lin Aung (Burmese: နေလင်းအောင်; pronounced [neɪ lɪn ɔːŋ]; on 9 September 1981) is a Rakhine film actor and comedian with the Burmese traditional anyeint troupe Htawara Hninzi. He won Myanmar Motion Picture Academy Awards for Best Actor four times: in 2009 with Moe Nya Einmet Myu, in 2015 with Nat Khat Mhar Tae Tite Pwal, in 2017 with Tar Tay Gyi and in 2024 with Bound. He also won the Star Award for the film Bridge of Clouds in 2018. He is one of the highest-paid actors in Myanmar.
Some of Nay Toe's films have received controversy for having racist or anti-Muslim themes, such as Aung Padin Inn Padaung (2012) and Oak Kyar Myet Pauk (2016). In 2019, he signed an exclusive contract with the production company 7th Sense Creation, which has close ties with the military government of Myanmar.
