U Kyin U

U Kyin U (; – ) was one of Burma's most prominent 19th century dramatists, along with U Ponnya.

Kyin U was born in Sinbaungwe in present-day Magway Region. He likely began his career as a song and speech writer for stage characters. He retired after the end of Bagyidaw's reign, and returned to Sinbaungwe. Of the six court plays he wrote, 2 have been lost. His plays dealt with the sociopolitical aspects of early 19th century Burmese history. He was also known for his songs and poetry. Many of his songs are published in an anthology called Thachin Padetha.
