The Lemro (Burmese: လေးမြို့မြစ်, Burmese pronunciation: [lémjo̰ mjɪʔ]) originally called Aizannadi is a river of Myanmar flowing through Chin State and Rakhine State. It flows into the Bay of Bengal east of Sittwe. The name of the river was given after establishment of four kingdom cities of Arakanese people between the eight and thirteen centuries along the river bank. The Lemro valley is noted for its rock art from these settlers.
