Atula Thiri Dhamma Dewi (Burmese: အတုလသီရိ ဓမ္မဒေဝီ, pronounced [ʔətṵla̰ θìɹḭ dəma̰dèwì]) was the chief queen consort of King Minkhaung II of Ava. She was a granddaughter of King Mohnyin Thado, as well as a direct descendant of King Swa Saw Ke of Ava from her mother's side.[note 1]

She was wedded to her cousin Prince Nawrahta (later King Minkhaung II) in 1466/67 by their grandfather King Narapati I of Ava. The couple had been engaged since they were both nine years old (in their 10th year).[1]
