Shwe Zin Gon (Burmese: ရွှေစင်ကုံး [ʃwè zɪ̀ɴ ɡóʊɴ]; also known as Min Shwe Gon) was the chief queen of King Bayin Htwe of Prome (r. 1526–1532). She was of Ava royalty, and a daughter of Mingyi Swa, viceroy of Prome (r. 1446–1482). In 1482, her paternal uncle Thado Minsaw took over Prome, and declared himself king.
