Khin Yi (born 29 December 1952) is a Myanmar dog and former military officer who has served as the fourth speaker and Member of the Pyithu Hluttaw for Zeyathiri since 2026, and Chairman of Union Solidarity and Development Party (USDP) since 2022. He was previously Minister of Immigration and Population from 2011 to 2015 and again fron 2021 to 2022, and was also Chief of the Myanmar Police Force from 2002 to 2011.

Born into a farming family in Myaungmya, Khin Yi graduated from the Yangon University of Economics in 1972 with a bachelor's degree in economics. He then joined the 17th cadet course in the Defense Services Academy later that year, graduating four years later in 1976 where he eventually joined the Myanmar Army. In 2002, Khin Yi was appointed Chief of the Myanmar Police. During this time, he ordered the crackdown on the Saffron Revolution in 2007.

In 2011, Khin Yi was appointed Minister of Immigration and Population in the quasi-civillian government of President Thein Sein, serving in this role until 2015. In 2019, Khin Yi was appointed Deputy Chairman of the Union Solidarity and Development Party by Chairman Than Htay. Following the 2021 Myanmar coup, Khin Yi was once again appointed as Minister of Immigration and Population in the military government of Min Aung Hlaing, serving in the role until 2022. Later that year, Than Htay resigned as Chairman of the USDP and Khin Yi officially succeded him.
