The Myanmar Navy () is the naval warfare branch of the Tatmadaw, the armed forces of Myanmar. With 30,000 active personnel, the navy operates more than 227 vessels. Prior to 1988, the navy was small, and its role in counter-insurgency operations was smaller than those of the army and the air force. The navy has since been expanded to take on a more active role in defense of Myanmar's territorial waters. The following is a list of equipment in the Republic of Union of Myanmar Navy. It may not be up-to-date or complete.
