Tampawaddy (Burmese: တမ္ပဝတီ, [tàɴpa̰wədì], also spelt Tampavati) is a classical name of the city of Bagan (Pagan), Myanmar. According to the Burmese chronicles, King Thaik Taing (r. 516–523) moved the palace from Thiri Pyissaya to nearby Tampawaddy. However, evidence indicates that the earliest human settlement in the Pagan region dates only from the mid-7th century CE.
