Thiri Maha Thu Dhammayaza (Burmese: သီရိမဟာသုဓမ္မရာဇာ, Pali: Sīrimahāsudhammarājā; born Myo Tu; c. 1847 – 1879), commonly known as the Prince of Mekkhaya, was a prince of the first rank of the late Konbaung dynasty in 19th-century Burma. He was a senior son of King Mindon and was the Viceroy to Taungdwingyi Province. He was considered one of the four most skilled sons of King Mindon, alongside the princes of Thonze, Nyaungyan and Myingun.
He was called 'the second Prince of Mekkhaya' by historians, not to be confused with the first Prince of Mekkhaya who compiled the first English–Myanmar dictionary.
