The Man Buddha Temple (Burmese: မံဘုရား) is a Buddhist temple in Sale, Magway Region, Myanmar that houses the Shinbin Maha Laba Man Buddha (Burmese: ရှင်ပင်မဟာလာဘမံဘုရား).

The Buddha image is nearly 20 feet (6.1 m) tall, and purportedly floated from Monywa to Sale in 1888 after extensive flooding in the area.[1] The hollow Buddha image is coated with gold lacquer, and is the largest lacquer Buddha image in Myanmar.[2][1] The style of the Buddha image dates to c. 1300.[1]
