Gyaing River^[1] is a river of Kayin State and Mon State, in southeastern Burma (Myanmar). Its two major tributaries, the Hlaingbwe River and the Haungtharaw River, flow together to form the Gyaing^[2] at {{coord|16|36|12|N|98|00|25|E|display=inline}}.^[3] It is about 45 miles long^[2] and flows into the Salween River immediately above Moulmein, at {{coord|16|30|55|N|97|37|36|E|display=inline}} (its mouth).^[3]

The Gyaing is a wide river, but quite shallow with numerous sandbars.^[2] It is navigable by smaller boats all year long.^[2] Important towns and villages along its banks include Gadoe (Kado), Zathabyin (Zathabyeng),^[4] Kalagong, Kawbein, Peinnegon,^[5] Tarana^[6] and Damathat (Dhammatha). The up-stream Gyaing forms part of the border between Hpa-an District and Kawkareik District of Kayin State, and downstream is the border between Kayin State and Mon State.^[1]
