'''Maung Khaing''' ({{langx|my|မောင်ခိုင်}}, {{IPA|my|màʊɴ kʰàɪɴ|pron}}; also spelled '''Maung Khine''') was the first Magistrate of Yangon (Rangoon) in the early British colonial period of Myanmar (Burma). Khaing's father was Gov. Myat Phyu of Shwegyin, who had defected to the British in 1832, and became Magistrate of North Moulmein (Mawlamyaing).<ref name=kto-24/> After the Second Anglo-Burmese War, his father-in-law Htaw Lay and Khaing used their influence with the colonial government to stop the occupation forces' pillaging of Buddhist shrines around Yangon, and restored the war damaged Shwedagon Pagoda.<ref name=wwm-60-61>Myaing 2005: 60–61</ref>
Both Khaing and Htaw Lay were awarded the title of KSM (''Kyet-tha-yay-saung Shwe-salwe-ya Min''), the highest honor for public service bestowed by the colonial government.<ref name=kto-24>Oung 2007: 24</ref> The colonial government named two wide streets in downtown Yangon after Khaing and Htaw Lay.<ref name=nfs-73>Singer 1995: 73</ref> The two street names survived the renaming of Yangon streets until 1989.
