Magway Region Hluttaw (Burmese: မကွေးတိုင်းဒေသကြီးလွှတ်တော်) is the legislature of Magway Region, Myanmar. It was established as a unicameral body with 68 seats, including 51 elected members from the NLD and 17 military appointees. However, after the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, the Hluttaw ceased to function, and its elected representatives were either arrested, forced into hiding, or displaced.

The military junta overthrew the democratically elected government, leaving the legislature inoperative. As of 2021, the Magway Region Hluttaw no longer has any functioning leadership, including the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, or elected members. The legislature is effectively seatless and inactive, with the military controlling the country and its political institutions.
Post-Coup Legislative Status
editSince the coup, the Magway Region Hluttaw, like all other state and regional legislatures in Myanmar, has been dissolved as an active legislative body. There have been no elections to replace the NLD representatives, and the military junta has monopolized power at the national and regional levels. The legislature, as a democratic institution, is no longer operational.
