Tannet (Burmese: တန်နက်, pronounced [tàɰ̃ nɛʔ]; 859–904) was king of Pagan dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) from c. 876 to c. 904. A son of King Pyinbya, the founder of Pagan (Bagan), Tannet was the paternal grandfather of King Anawrahta, the founder of Pagan Empire. The king loved horses and was a master of horsemanship. He was assassinated by Sale Ngahkwe, his stable groom, who succeeded him as king.^[1]

Various Burmese chronicles do not agree on the dates regarding his life and reign. The oldest chronicle Zatadawbon Yazawin is considered to be the most accurate for the Pagan period.^{[Notes 1]} The table below lists the dates given by four main chronicles, as well as Hmannan's dates when anchored by the Anawrahta's inscriptionally verified accession date of 1044.^[2]

Chronicles	Birth–Death	Age	Reign	Length of reign
Zatadawbon Yazawin	859–904	45	876–904	28
Maha Yazawin	841–876	35	858–876	18
Yazawin Thit and Hmannan Yazawin	851–906	55	878–906	28
