Lawka Dewi Mwei Auk (Burmese: လောကဒေဝီ မွေ့အောက်, pronounced [lɔ́ka̰ dèwì mwḛ ʔauʔ]) was a principal queen consort of King Razadarit of Hanthawaddy Pegu from 1392 to 1421.

According to the Razadarit Ayedawbon chronicle, the queen was the middle daughter of Saw Ye-Bein, a senior minister at the Hanthawaddy court. Her personal name was Mwei Auk (မွေ့အောက်). She had an elder sister Mwei Ohn-Naung and a younger sister Mi U-Si^[1] In April 1392, she became a senior queen of King Razadarit, with the title of Lawka Dewi (Pali: Lokadevī). Her two sisters were also raised as queens at the same ceremony.^[1]

She and her sisters were first cousins once removed of the king. Their father was a first cousin of Razadarit. Their paternal grandfather Binnya Thein was a noble from Chiang Mai who after a disagreement with the king of Chiang Mai had sought refuge at the court of King Binnya U. Their paternal grandmother was Tala Saw Lun, a daughter of King Saw Zein.^[2]
