Peng Daxun (Chinese: 彭大顺; pinyin: Péng Dàshùn, Burmese: ဖုန်တာရွှင်), also known as Peng Deren (Chinese: 彭德仁; pinyin: Péng Dérén, born 1957 or 1965), is a Burmese Kokang military leader serving as commander of the Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) since 2009. He is the son of Pheung Kya-shin, his immediate predecessor as commander of the MNDAA, and had waged a war against the Tatmadaw and government of Myanmar to reclaim control over the region of Kokang.
Although he led the MNDAA to major victories against the Myanmar military in northern Shan State such as recapturing the Kokang region and the town of Lashio, he has since shifted in stance towards upholding China's peace policy in Myanmar after he was detained by Chinese authorities in Yunnan province in October 2024.
