'''Saw Beza''' ({{langx|my|စောဘေဇာ}}, {{IPA|my|sɔ́ bèzà|pron}}) was a queen consort of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava. She was the mother of King Minkhaung I of Ava, Gov. Theiddat of Sagaing, and Queen Thupaba Dewi of Hanthawaddy Pegu.<ref name=hy-1-436>Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 436</ref>
==Brief== The future queen was a commoner named Mi Beza from a small village named Gazun-Neint (ကန်စွန်းနိမ့်) near Mohnyin (in present-day Kachin State). King Swa met her at her village in the dry season of 1372–73 while he was on campaign to Mohnyin. The king took her as a concubine during the campaign. After the campaign, he told her to come to Ava (Inwa) if she gave birth to his son. She gave birth to a son (later King Minkhaung I) on 13 October 1373, after which she went to Ava. The king, as promised, raised her to queen. They had two more children.<ref name=hy-1-409-410>Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 409–410</ref>
