Wuntho Township is a township in Kawlin District (formerly part of Katha District) in the Sagaing Region of Myanmar.

After the British annexed Upper Burma in 1885, Wuntho became a refuge for rebels and whom the British called bandits until in 1891, when a force of 1,800 British soldiers under General Sir George Wolseley occupied the town of Wuntho.

In 1892 the state was formally annexed by the British and incorporated into the District of Katha.

Wuntho had an area of around 2,400 square miles (6,200 km2) with 150,000 inhabitants and lay midway between the Ayeyarwady River and Chindwin River.
