Pawtugi Yazawin () is a Burmese chronicle that covers the history of the Portuguese, especially their rule at Syriam (Thanlyin) from 1599 to 1613. The oral history was first compiled in the early 19th century by Father Ignacio de Brito and Johannes Moses (Baba Sheen).(Harvey 1925: xvi–xvii) speculates that the chronicle was "probably within a generation of De Brito's death (1613)." It was first published in 1918 in Yangon.

It is the first and only chronicle to claim that Natshinnaung converted to Roman Catholicism.
