Mongping or Möngping (Burmese: Maingpyin) was the smallest state of the Shan States in what is today Burma.
Little is known about the history of this state except that in 1842 it was merged with Lawksawk.[1] It was located at the southeastern end of that state, separated from it by the Nam Et River.
