Depeyin (Burmese: ဒီပဲယင်း; [dìbɛ́jɪ́ɴ], also spelled Dabayin, Debayin, Depayin, or Tabayin) is a town in the Sagaing Division in Myanmar.

[1] According to the founding myth of Tabayin, when King Sithu I toured the land, the gods assumed the forms of goats and bleated as if they were thirsty.

[3] Located a few kilometers west of Shwebo, the birthplace of Konbaung dynasty, Tabayin was a major source of many Konbaung soldiers and officials, including the country's most famous general Maha Bandula.

[7] On 30 May 2003, pro-military mobs perpetrated the Tabayin Massacre, which occurred during a stop in Depayin by opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi's nationwide tour.

[8] The last stanzas of a recent poem titled "Diparinga" (ဒီပရင်္ဂ), which refers to the classical name of Debayin and extols the past glories of the place, by Khin Maung Than, raised the ire of the authorities as they read like a thinly veiled reference to the massacre.
