Thiri Zeya Thura (Burmese: သီရိဇေယျသူရ, pronounced [θìɹḭ zèja̰ θùɹa̰]; also spelled Thiri Zeyathura[1]) was a 15th-century Burmese royal who served as a vassal ruler under several kings of Ava. A nephew of both King Mohnyin Thado and Queen Shin Myat Hla of Ava, he was governor of Taungdwin from 1441 to the 1470s or later, and held key governorships, notably at Toungoo (Taungoo) and Kale (Kalay).

He was also the father of Queen Taungdwin Minthami of Ava (r. 1502–1527).
