Min Mahagiri (, , lit. Lord of the Great Mountain), also called Eindwin Nat (), is one of the Thirty-seven nats in the Burmese pantheon. He is the chief of the household nats and is closely associated with the origins of nat worship in Myanmar. The cult of the 37 nats is often said to have begun with the worship of Min Mahagiri.
