The colonial governors of Burma were the colonial administrators responsible for the territory of British Burma, an area equivalent to modern-day Myanmar.
As a result of the Second Anglo-Burmese War, Burma was initially set up as a province of British India. Following the Government of India Act 1935 it was made a separate crown colony within the British Empire. Following invasion by the Empire of Japan during World War II, it was controlled by a Japanese military governor. After the Japanese were expelled, it was under an Allied military commander, then a civilian governor until independence.
