Maha Sithu (Burmese: မဟာစည်သူ, pronounced [məhà sìθù]) was a general of Konbaung Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) who commanded the Burmese armies in the Sino–Burmese War (1765–1769).
In the war, he was the commander-in-chief of the Burmese forces in the second invasion (1766–1767) but he gave up the command after he fell ill.
But he gave up the overall command to Maha Thiha Thura after he was defeated at the Battle of Goteik Gorge by a numerically superior Chinese army led by Gen. Mingrui.
Maha Sithu's army drove back Mingrui's retreating army while Maha Thiha Thura's army encircled the enemy.
