Thihapate of Mohnyin (Burmese: မိုးညှင်း သီဟပတေ့, [móɲ̥ɪ́ɴ θìha̰pətḛ]; also spelled Thihapatei of Mong Yang;[1] c. 1410–1450/51) was sawbwa of Mohnyin from 1439 to 1450/51, and governor of Pakhan from 1429 to 1450/51. He is best remembered in Burmese history for declining to take the Ava throne in 1442, after the death of King Minye Kyawswa I of Ava. He was a principal figure in Ava's reconquest of Mohnyin (1439), Kale (1439) and Mogaung (1442), and defense of the northern frontier states from Chinese incursions in the 1440s.

He was the father of Queen Ameitta Thiri Maha Dhamma Dewi of Ava.
