Tanai Township (Burmese: တနိုင်းမြို့နယ်) is a township in Myitkyina District of Kachin State, in northern Myanmar. The principal town is Tanai.[1]

The Shadu Zup militia operates gold mines in the township. In July 2022, they attacked a Kachin Independence Army base near the Ka Nwe Thu mine in Tanai Township during the outbreak of civil war in Myanmar since 2021.[2]

Near the town of Tanai are Burmese amber sites of paleontological interest including the recently uncovered Inzutzut, Angbamo, and Xipiugong sites.[3]
