Saw Taw Oo (Burmese: စောတော်ဦး, pronounced [sɔ́ dɔ̀ ʔú]) was a queen consort of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava. She was the daughter of King Thihapate of Sagaing, a granddaughter of King Saw Yun, the founder of Sagaing, and a half-sister of King Thado Minbya, the founder of Ava. She was raised to be a queen of Swa Saw Ke with the title of Queen of the Central Palace, succeeding her half-sister Saw Omma. The queen was also given Pagan (Bagan) in fief.[2]

According to a contemporary inscription, the queen donated a monastery in Wetkyi-In, and dedicated paddy farmland to the monastery in October 1396.[a]
