The Supreme Court of Myanmar (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုတရားလွှတ်တော်ချုပ်) is the highest judicial forum and final court of appeal under the Constitution of Myanmar, existing as an independent judicial entity, alongsite the legislative and executive branches. The Court is legally mandated to have 7 to 11 judges, including a Chief Justice.
The rulings of the court are not always independent of the military government.
The High Court Building, located between Maha Bandula Garden Street and Pansodan Street in Kyauktada Township, downtown Yangon, formerly housed the Supreme Court of Burma. The new high court has been moved to Office No.54, Naypyidaw, the country's new capital since 2006.
In February 2011, President Thein Sein nominated Tun Tun Oo as Chief Justice. The Pyidaungsu Hluttaw appointed his nomination on 17 February 2011.
