Pan Dah (c. September 1940 – October 31, 1951), also spelled Pan-dah, was a female giant panda captured in Western China and settled in New York's Bronx Zoo.
In 1941, Soong May-ling, Chiang Kai-shek, presented two giant pandas, Pan Dah and Pan Dee, to the Bronx Zoo of the United States. The two giant pandas were used to demonstrate the non-Communist Chinese's love for the United States, especially for the Bronx.
On October 31, 1951, Pan Dah died at the Bronx Zoo.
