Phaungkaza Maung Maung (Burmese:ဖောင်းကားစား မောင်မောင်[pʰàʊɰ̃ɡázámàʊɰ̃màʊɰ̃]; 15 September 1763 – 11 February 1782) was the fifth king of theKonbaung Dynasty ofBurma, whose reign lasted six days. Maung Maung, the eldest son ofNaungdawgyi, the second king of theKonbaung Dynasty, and Chief queen Shin Hpo U. He was granted the appenage ofPhaungga infief. On 6 February 1782, the 18-year-old Prince of Phaungka pretended to be a king and entered the palace and seized the throne while his cousin KingSingu pilgrimaging toAnyar Thiha Taw Pagoda. Phaungkaza Maung Maung was the shortest lived king among the Konbaung Kings.

Upon ascending the throne, Phaungkaza Maung Maung invited his personal astrologer-monk—renowned for his mastery of Vedic astrology and astronomy—to the palace to offer alms. During the ceremony, the monk subtly advised the king to "clear thekukko trees (lebbeck) from the western side." This was actually a veiled reference rooted in the Vinaya (Buddhist disciplinary code), implying the need to remove the Monday-born Prince Badon (later KingBodawpaya), a potential rival. However, the young and inexperienced king misunderstood the advice literally and ordered the actual kukko trees near the palace to be cut down.^[2] His uncle Prince Badon quickly came to the palace and deposed him on 11 February 1782. Maung Maung and his chief queen were drowned to death on the same day.

He had two queens, chief queen was Shin Bai Toke, daughter of U Shun, who was brother of the barn minister U Tun. She gave birth to a son who was named Maung Yike who rebelled against Bodawpaya in 1805, based in Kyun Hla Village. The second queen was Me Bwar, daughter of Min Khe Paung, who was a daughter of KingMahadhammaraza Dipadi, the last king ofToungoo dynasty of Burma. She did not bear any issue.
