Military cabinet of Min Aung Hlaing

The Provisional Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုသမ္မတမြန်မာနိုင်ငံတော် အိမ်စောင့်အစိုးရ), was a provisional government for Myanmar appointed by the State Administration Council. On 1 August 2021, it replaced the Management Committee of the State Administration Council, which had been in place since 19 February 2021, following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. Some ministers were appointed by Min Aung Hlaing immediately following the coup on 1 February, in his capacity as Commander-in-Chief of Defence Services exercising emergency powers.

Due to the state of emergency, the cabinet was led by Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing rather than Acting President Myint Swe, despite the president being the constitutional head of government.

The legitimacy of the SAC appointed provisional government has been challenged by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH) which has appointed a rival National Unity Government of Myanmar (NUG).

The provisional government was dissolved with the conclusion of the state of emergency at the end of July 2025, and the National Defence and Security Council appointed Nyo Saw to lead a new union government.
