Tarkasnawa was ruler of the Kingdom of Mira, and one of the last independent kings of Arzawa, a Bronze Age confederation of kingdoms in western Anatolia. He was probably the son of King Alantalli, and a contemporary of the Hittite king Tudḫaliya IV. If, as proposed, Tarkasnawa was the recipient of the Milawata letter, he may have been subject to the Hittite king.
