The Rohingya National Army (abbreviated RNA) is a Rohingya Islamist insurgent group in Rakhine State (Arakan), Myanmar (Burma). In 1998, the Rohingya Solidarity Organization (RSO), the Arakan Rohingya National Organization (ARNO), and the Arakan Rohingya Islamic Front (ARIF) formed a mutual alliance and established the RNA, whose affairs and establishments were managed by ARNO. The group was mainly active in the early 2000s.

In June 2015, three Burmese government contracted engineers were kidnapped near Myanmar's border with Bangladesh, with the perpetrators suspected of being the RNA. Attempts by Burmese and Bangladeshi border guards to locate the victims failed, and they were eventually beheaded by their captors.
