Dagon International Limited (Burmese: ဒဂုံအင်တာနေရှင်နယ်ကုမ္ပဏီ) is a major Burmese conglomerate with interests in construction, timber extraction, agriculture and import-export. The company was founded by Dagon Win Aung and Win Thein in the early 1990s.[1]

From 2009 to 2015, Dagon International and its chief executive officer Win Aung were placed on the American sanctions list since 2009, for its close ties with the Burmese military.[2][3][4]
