Ashin Munindābhivaṃsa (Burmese: ဘဒ္ဒန္တမုနိန္ဒာဘိဝံသ; 13 December 1946 – 19 June 2024), also known as Shindan Sayadaw, was a Burmese scholar monk and chief abbot of Win Neinmitayon Monastery in Bago. Recipient of the title of Agga Maha Pandita, he was a member of the central executive committee of the Shwegyin Nikaya, the second largest monastic order in Myanmar. The assassination of Munindābhivaṃsa, a member of the State Sangha Maha Nayaka Committee, in June 2024 led to a confrontation between the Burmese military (the Tatmadaw) and founding members of the monastery.
