Inwa Yazawin (Burmese: အင်းဝ ရာဇဝင်, lit. 'Chronicle of Inwa') is a lost Burmese chronicle that covers the history of the Ava Kingdom. The chronicle's existence was first mentioned in an early 15th-century chronicle called Yazawin Kyaw that did survive.[1] At least some portions survived down to the 1720s as they were referenced in Maha Yazawin, the official chronicle of Toungoo Dynasty.[2][3]
