Panna Dhai also known as Panna Dai was a 16th-century nursemaid to Udai Singh II, the fourth son of Rana Sanga.

In Hindi, Panna means "emerald," and dhai means "nurse" "someone who breastfeeds someone else's child". Udai Singh was left in care of Panna, after Rani Karnavati committed Jauhar in 1535. When Udai was attacked by his uncle Banvir, Panna Dai sacrificed her own son Chandan's life to save him.
