Nanda Pakyan (Burmese: နန္ဒပကြံ, pronounced [nàɴda̰ bədʑàɴ]; also spelled Ananda Pakyan; c. 1280s – c. 1350s) was chief minister of Sagaing from the 1330s to the 1350s. The powerful minister placed at least three kings Kyaswa (r. 1339−49), Anawrahta II (r. 1349) and Tarabya II (r. 1349−52) on the throne, became the commander-in-chief, and ran the country.
