Maha Thammada (Rakhine: မဟာသမ္မတ; c. May 1742 – 1786), born Thado Aung (Rakhine: သတိုးအောင်), was the final monarch of the Kingdom of Mrauk U, reigning from 1782 to 1785. He was the last Arakanese monarch and 48th king of Mrauk-U, a coastal area of Arakan and a former state in Myanmar.
When Sanda Thaditha died in 1782, nobles gathered and enthroned Thado Aung, who was a Duke of Ramree, held the post of Letwemyan (Burmese: လက်ဝဲမြန် အမတ်) and was the nephew-in-law of deceased King Sanda Thaditha. Thado Aung assumed the title of Maha Thammada Raza and ascended the throne, with his Queen Saw Mae Pon (Burmese: စောမယ်ပုံ). He appointed his brother in law, Kyaw Bon (Burmese: ကျော်ပုံ), to the position of General and made his younger brother, Chit Hla Shwe (Burmese: ချစ်လှရွှေ), crown prince.
