Saw Ahlwan, also known as Ale Pyinthe (Queen of the Central Palace), was a queen of Pagan in 12th-century Myanmar. She was the elder daughter of Yazathu and Eindawthe, and the niece of queens Taung Pyinthe and Khin U. She married kings Naratheinkha and later Sithu II, and with Sithu II she had a daughter named Thatti-Kami. An inscription from Sithu II’s time names her Saw Ahlwan, though chronicles often call her Ale Pyinthe. She served as Queen of the Central Palace from 1174 to about the 1190s. She died during Sithu II’s reign (after 1186) and was succeeded by Queen Wadanthika.
