Tarabya of Toungoo (Burmese: တောင်ငူ တရဖျား, pronounced: [tàʊɴŋù təɹəpʰjá]) was viceroy of Toungoo from 1440 to 1446. Prior to his viceroyship appointment at Toungoo, he was governor of Amyint. In 1440, he led a successful military operation that reclaimed Toungoo (Taungoo), which had since 1426 sided with Ava's bitter rival Hanthawaddy Kingdom, for his overlord King Minyekyawswa of Ava. For his success, Tarabya was appointed viceroy of Toungoo.[1]

His rule lasted less than six years. According to the Toungoo Yazawin chronicle, a court astrologer predicted in 1442 that the viceroy would die on 5th waxing of Tabodwe 807 ME (2 January 1446). Angered by the prediction, he sent the astrologer to jail. The chronicle continues that the viceroy died on 2 January 1446 as predicted.[1] His son Minkhaung II succeeded, and freed the astrologer from jail.[2]

Tarabya was a brother-in-law of Crown Prince Minyekyawswa of the Forty Years' War fame. Moreover, starting with the Maha Yazawin chronicle, all royal chronicles identify Tarabya of Toungoo as an ancestor (paternal great-great-great grandfather) of King Bayinnaung of Toungoo Dynasty.[3]
