'''Launggyet''' ({{langx|my|လောင်းကြက်မြို့}} {{IPA-my|láʊɰ̃ ɡjɛʔ mjo̰|}}) is a former capital of the [[Launggyet Dynasty]] of [[Arakan]] from 1237/1251 to 1430. It is also last capital of Laymro Kingdom. The former capital site is located a few miles northwest of [[Mrauk U]], [[Rakhine State]], [[Myanmar]]. The Arakanese chronicle ''[[Rakhine Razawin Thit]]'' gives the foundation date as 22 April 1251.{{efn|(Sandamala Linkara Vol. 1 1997: 171): The city was founded on Saturday, 2nd waxing of Nayon 613 [[Burmese calendar|ME]] (Saturday, 22 April 1251.)}} Some Arakanese chronicles give the foundation date as 1237 CE.<ref name=geh-371>Harvey 1925: 371</ref>
Following the death of King Nganalon, his son Prince [[Alawmaphyu]] succeeded him in 1250. He reigned for 1 year at the capital of Nyeinzara Toungoo, at which point he realized that it was time for foundation of a new city.
