Mingyi Swa of Prome (Burmese: မင်းကြီးစွာ, pronounced [mɪ́ɴdʑíswà]; died 1482) was viceroy of Prome of Ava Kingdom from 1446 to 1482. He was made governor of Prome in 1446 by his father Narapati of Ava. He raised a rebellion when his eldest brother Thihathura I succeeded the Ava throne in 1469. But Thihathura laid siege on Prome, and Mingyi Swa submitted to his brother. He was forgiven, and reappointed to his former position.

Mingyi Swa died in 1482, after 36 years of rule at Prome. After his death, his younger brother Thado Minsaw, who was governor of Tharrawaddy, seized the Prome chieftainship, raised a rebellion against his nephew King Minkhaung II. The rebellion succeeded, and Prome became independent.
