Hakha (Burmese: ဟားခါးမြို့; MLCTS: ha: hka: mrui., pronounced [hákʰá mjo̰]; formerly rendered Haka[2][3]) is the capital of Chin State in Myanmar.

It is estimated that Hakha has enough land and full capacity to extend to as ten times its current township area.

The area was ruled by local chiefs for many generations and consisted of more than 600 houses when British troops arrived in 1889.

The British occupied Hakha beginning on 19 January 1890, as part of their operation to "subdue the wild tribes" in the Arakan Hills Division, as the area was then called.

The first American Baptist missionary couple, Arthur Carson (1860-1908) and his wife Laura (1858-1942), arrived in Hakha in 1899 and opened a mission station.

When Burma gained independence from British control in 1948, Hakha became an important city as the center of one of the subdivisions in the Chin Special Division, of which Falam was the capital at that time.
