Yin Myo Su (Burmese: ယဉ်မျိုးစု; born 1972), also known as Misuu, is a Burmese businesswoman and cultural promoter. She founded the Inthar Heritage House and is the managing director of the Inle Princess Resort in Shan State and the Mrauk-U Princess Resort in Rakhine State. The Inthar Heritage House is a traditional building dedicated to promoting Inthar culture and heritage.
Through her attempts to preserve local ethnic Intha traditions and the natural environment of Inle Lake, she has been called the "Lady of the Lake". She has played a significant role in reintroducing the Burmese cat – a breed believed to have originated on the Thai-Myanmar border – to Myanmar but has since transformed into a foundation for preserving Inle Lake's nature and culture.
