List of ethnic armed organisations in Myanmar

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

Terminology
The term "ethnic armed organisation" (တိုင်းရင်းသား လက်နက်ကိုင် အဖွဲ့အစည်း) 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
