Chief Justice of Myanmar

This is a list of chief justices of the Union of Myanmar and its predecessor offices.

In 1922, a unified High Court was established at Rangoon, headed by a Chief Justice of the High Court of Judicature at Rangoon.

In 1974, the Chief Court was abolished and replaced with a Council of People's Justices, headed by a Chairman of the Council of People's Justices.

Under the 2008 Constitution of Myanmar, each High Court of a region or of a state also has its own Chief Justice.

In 2016, lawyers and activists were pressing for the creation of a Ministry of Justice (which has never existed in Myanmar's history) in order for the government to elect a Chief Justice rather than the President.
