The National Unity Government of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar (Burmese: အမျိုးသားညီညွတ်ရေး အစိုးရ; abbreviated NUG) is a provisional government for Myanmar formed by the Committee Representing Pyidaungsu Hluttaw (CRPH), a group of elected lawmakers and members of parliament ousted in the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état. It includes representatives of the National League for Democracy (the party of former state counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi), ethnic minority insurgent groups, and various minor parties.
The State Administration Council (SAC) military junta has declared the NUG illegal and a terrorist organization, while the NUG designated the Tatmadaw and its affiliated organizations as terrorist organizations under Section 3 of Myanmar's Counter-Terrorism Law.
In May 2021, the NUG announced the formation of a People's Defense Force, and in September the launch of a defensive war and nationwide revolution against the military junta.
As of May 2025, the United Nations list of Heads of State, Heads of Government, and Ministers for Foreign Affairs of all Member States lists National Unity Government head Win Myint as President of the Republic of the Union of Myanmar. Myanmar's permenant representative at the United Nations, Kyaw Moe Tun, continues to take instructions from the NUG.
Although the NUG is widely described as a government-in-exile, it has not declared a temporary capital in another country or in Myanmar, and instead conducts its operations remotely and from hiding within Myanmar.
