List of ethnic armed organisations in Myanmar

The following is a list of non-state armed groups involved in the Myanmar conflict, officially called ethnic armed organisations (EAOs) by the government of Myanmar.

Terminology

The term "ethnic armed organisation" () emerged in Myanmar during the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement negotiations from 2013 to 2015. Various other terms, including "ethnic organisation", "ethnic resistance force", and "ethnic rebel group" have also been used to describe ethnic armed organisations.

These organisations typically:

• claim to represent an ethnic identity
• aim to garner mutual recognition from other ethnic armed organisations through alliances and coalitions
• have an armed wing, and often a separate political wing
