The Sino-American Special Technical Cooperative Organization (Chinese:中美特种技术合作所), also known as the Sino-American Cooperative Organization (SACO), was an organization created by the SACO Treaty signed by the Republic of China and the United States of America in 1942 during the Second World War. It established a mutual intelligence gathering entity in China between the respective nations against Japan. It also served as joint training program between the two nations.

The first and last operational chief of the organization was Dai Li (Tai Li), head of Chiang Kai-shek's secret police, the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics. Commander for the American forces was United States Navy Captain Milton E. Miles. "Mary" Miles", later a Vice Admiral, was commander of Naval Group China (NGC), the American Navy's intelligence unit in China during the war and was second in command of SACO (which was commanded by Dai Li).
