The Myanmar Music Association (Burmese: မြန်မာနိုင်ငံဂီတအစည်းအရုံး; abbreviated MMA) is Myanmar's music industry association. The organisation was established in 1952 and consists of 5 divisions: historical traditional music, modern traditional music, contemporary music, production and technical work.[1]

MMA established a Burmese pop library in 2010, to create a standardised list of songs published in the country, and of help musicians and songwriters obtain their proper share of royalty payments from the use of their songs.[2] In 2013, it reopened a traditional Burmese music school, which ad been closed since 2007.[3]

In July 2015, it announced that it would launch the Myanmar Music Academy Awards in 2016 to recognise outstanding Burmese musicians.[4]
