Saw Soe (Burmese: စောစိုး, pronounced [sɔ́ só]) was a principal queen consort of King Kyawswa of the Pagan Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar).[1] The royal chronicles identify her as the chief queen of Kyawswa but historians identify Saw Thitmahti as the chief queen.[2]

The queen was the mother of Viceroy of Pagan Saw Hnit, Governor of Thayet Min Shin Saw, Queen Saw Min Ya of Pinya, Queen Saw Hnaung of Sagaing and Queen Mway Medaw of Pinya.[1] She was also the paternal grandmother of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava.
