The gaung baung (Burmese: ခေါင်းပေါင်း [ɡáʊɰ̃ báʊɰ̃]; Mon: သမိၚ် ဍိုပ်, [həmoiŋ dɒp]; Shan: ၶဵၼ်းႁူဝ် [kʰén.hǒ]; Northern Thai: เคียนหัว [kʰīan hǔa]) is a traditional Burmese kerchief and part of the traditional attire of many ethnic groups inhabiting modern day Burma and Northern Thailand, particularly among most of the Buddhist-professing ethnic groups: the Bamar, Mon, Arakanese, Shan, and Tai Yuan peoples.

The design of the modern Burmese gaung baung emerged in the mid-20th century and is called maung kyetthayay (မောင့်ကျက်သရေ).

The gaung baung is usually made of silk or cotton, depending on the rank or wealth of the owner.

Thus, most wear ready-made and woven gaung baungs which are wrapped over a rattan or wicker frame.

The Burmese and Mon wear yellow, white, grey or cream coloured gaung baungs, of either silk or cotton.
