Shwe Thanlwin Company (Burmese: ရွှေသံလွင်ကုမ္ပဏီ) is a major Burmese company. It was founded by Kyaw Win, a close associate of Kyaw Hsan, a former military general, and enjoyed an exclusive business relationship with the Ministry of Industry in the 2000s.

Following Cyclone Nargis, Shwe Thanlwin was one of the companies awarded contracts by the State Peace and Development Council for reconstruction work in the Ayeyarwady delta region, including low-cost homes for refugees. Shwe Thanlwin owns Sky Net, a satellite television channel, through Shwe Thanlwin Media, which was launched on 6 October 2010. Shwe Thanlwin also maintains the Bago-Nyaunglebin portion of the National Highway 1 (Burma).

In 2014, the Central Bank of Myanmar issued a license to Shwe Rural and Urban Development Bank, which is a subsidiary of Shwe Thanlwin.
