Pindale Min (Burmese:ပင်းတလဲမင်း,pronounced[pɪ́ɰ̃dəlɛ́mɪ́ɰ̃]; 23 March 1608 – 3 June 1661) was king of theToungoo dynasty ofBurma (Myanmar) from 1648 to 1661. Prince of Pindale ascended to the Burmese throne after his father KingThalun died in 1648. Pindale's ineffectual reign was the beginning of the gradual decline of Toungoo dynasty over the next century.

TheYongli Emperor ofSouthern Ming established himself atKunming inYunnan and extracted tribute fromChiang Hung. The Burmese armies under his brotherPye the King ofProme were sent north to claim Chiang Hung but failed. Then there were omens and rumors that there would be two kings in Burma. Yongli was eventually driven out of Yunnan and fled toBhamo, requesting Burmese alliance. Pindale granted the residence to the Ming Emperor atSagaing along with his officials.

However, the Qing promptly amassed the troops into Burma to capture the last Ming prince. The Kingdom of Ava was largely plundered and Ava was laid siege. However, the siege was unsuccessful^{[5]: 220–223} due to the defense provided by theBayingyi – the Portuguese gunners. The Qing invasions had burnt the Burmese farms in Ava and resulted in famine and Pindale lost his popularity. His brother Pye then staged a coup and took the throne, drowning Pindale, his chief queen, son and grandson in a river.

Pindalè had 12 children from chief queens and others
