The Rohingya National Army (abbreviated RNA) was a Rohingya insurgent group active in northern Rakhine State, Myanmar (Burma). It was headquartered in southern Bangladesh.
On 28 October 1998, the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO) and the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF) merged and formed the Arakan Rohingya National Organisation (ARNO), operating in-exile in Cox's Bazaar district in Bangladesh. The Rohingya National Army was established as its armed wing.
The group was mainly active in the early 2000s; their last reported attack was in May 2001.
