Thein Hlaing (Burmese: သိန်းလှိုင်; also Edward Thompson Hoke Wang; 3 November 1933 – 10 August 2021), known honorifically as Naga Thein Hlaing (Burmese: နာဂသိန်းလှိုင်, pronounced [nàga̰ θéɪɰ̃ l̥àɪɰ̃]), was a Burmese surgeon. He was well known for his performance of endocrine surgery in the Naga Hills of northwestern Burma, using local anesthetic only. Since he was able to cure goitre, which local shamans could not do, Thein Hlaing was recognized by the local residents as Naga Nat (God of Naga) and was worshiped as a deity.
