Thu Thiri Myatswa Ratana Devi (Burmese: သုသီရိမြတ်စွာရတနာဒေဝီ, Pali: Susīrimratswāratanādevi), commonly known as the Princess of Salin (Burmese: စလင်းမင်းသမီး) or Salin Supaya (Burmese: စလင်းစုဖုရား, pronounced [səlɪ́ɰ̃ sṵpʰəjá]), was the Tabindaing princess (chief queen designate) during the late Konbaung dynasty. She was nicknamed "Selina Sophia" by Europeans.
