The Union Parliament (Burmese: ပြည်ထောင်စုလွှတ်တော်) was the bicameral legislature of the Union of Burma from 1947 to 1962, when it was disbanded by the Union Revolutionary Council. It consisted of an upper house, the Chamber of Nationalities and a lower house, the Chamber of Deputies.

From 1957 to 1963, the Union Parliament was a member of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU).[1]
