Khin Khin Win (Burmese: ခင်ခင်ဝင်း [kʰɪ̀ɴ kʰɪ̀ɴ wɪ́ɴ]) is the former First Lady and wife of former President of Myanmar Thein Sein. She had held the position of Myanmar's First Lady from 30 March 2011 to 30 March 2016. Khin Khin Win and her husband, Thein Sein, have three children. One of her daughters, Yin Thuzar Thein, married military captain, Han Win Aung, in 2009.[1]

In December 2011, Khin Khin Win met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during her official visit in Myanmar.[2] On January 30, 2012, the Singapore Botanic Gardens named a new orchid hybrid, the Dendrobium Daw Khin Khin Win, in her honor.[3][4][5]
