Nyo Saw Burmese: ညိုစော, romanized: Nyo Saw, commonly known as U Nyo Saw, is a Burmese former military officer who has been the 13th prime minister of Myanmar and as well as a member of the State Security and Peace Commission since July 2025, and is a member-elect of the Pyithu Hluttaw. A former member of the Tatmadaw, he has also been the chairman of the Myanmar Economic Corporation (MEC) since 2022 and also served as a member of the State Administration Council from 2023 to 2025.
Born in an unknown location, Nyo Saw was educated in Defence Services Academy, where he graduated and entered service with a posting as a Brigadier general Staff Officer under Yangon command where he held multiple senior roles. Nyo Saw was promoted to Quartermaster general in 2014 and was also appointed chairman of the Myanmar Economic Corporation that year. He retained both those roles ever after retiring from the army in 2020. In 2023, Nyo Saw was appointed a member of the State Administration Council, the then-ruling military junta of Myanmar.
In July 2025, the State Administration Council was abolished and was replaced by the State Security and Peace Commission, and as well as the state of emergency. The junta leader Min Aung Hlaing appointed Nyo Saw prime minister, Minister of National Planning and Economic Development, and a member of the newly formed council. His appointment came as the country was getting ready for general elections later in the year.
