Shwe Man Tin Maung (Burmese: ရွှေမန်းတင်မောင်, 21 December 1918 – 29 November 1969) was an influential Burmese dancer and founder of the Shwe Man Thabin family dance troupe, the last of its kind in Burma. He was considered one of the three most skilled zat pwe performers of his day, along with Kenneth Sein and Sein Aung Min, and led the Burmese Zat Thabin industry, following the example of Po Sein.
A bronze statue of Tin Maung stands before the National Theatre of Mandalay. His oratorical skills gave rise to the Burmese saying "Talking like Shwe Man."
