Taung Pyinthe (Burmese: တောင်ပြင်သည်, pronounced [tàʊɴ bjìɴ ðɛ̀]; lit. "Queen of the Southern Palace") was the chief queen consort of King Narathu of the Pagan Dynasty of Myanmar (Burma).

Her existence is inferred. None of the main chronicles has a record of the names of the queens of Narathu. The Yazawin Thit chronicle explicitly says no records of Narathu's queens could be found.[1] Yazawin Thit and Hmannan Yazawin[2] mention only that Naratheinkha and Sithu II had the same mother. Per Than Tun, their mother was the North Queen.[3] It means there was a South Queen.
