Tarabya I of Pakhan (Burmese: တရဖျား, pronounced [təɹəbjá]; also known as Tarabya the Elder of Pakhan, ပုခန်း တရဖျားကြီး,[note 1] [pəkʰáɴ təɹəbjá dʑí]; c. 1360s – c. 1433) was a Burmese governor and military commander during the early Ava period. Between 1390 and 1413, Tarabya served as governor of Pakhan and as an officer in the Ava military in several campaigns, mostly against the southern Hanthawaddy forces in the Forty Years' War. In 1413, he lost his military command and was transferred to become governor of Pagan (Bagan), the ancient royal capital. He appeared to have ended his career there c. early 1430s.
Tarabya is remembered in Burmese history for his progeny. He was the father of Queen Saw Min Hla of Ava and her younger brother Viceroy Tarabya of Toungoo; the maternal grandfather of the self-proclaimed king Minye Kyawhtin of Toungoo and King Min Hla of Ava; and the paternal grandfather of Viceroy Minkhaung I of Toungoo. He is the earliest known patrilineal ancestor of King Bayinnaung of the Toungoo dynasty. All the kings of the dynasty—Mingyi Nyo, Tabinshwehti and Bayinnaung onwards—claimed descent from Tarabya.
