Myanmar began issuing stamps in 1937 under its former name of Burma. This list is short because Myanmar's stamp issuing policies are among the most conservative in the world. It also avoids featuring individuals on its stamps. The stamps of Myanmar have been reviewed up to the year 2000, and only two identifiable individuals have appeared on them since it achieved modern independence in 1948.
- George V of the United Kingdom (1937)
- George VI of the United Kingdom (1938)
- Heihachiro Togo (1942)
- Maresuke Nogi (1942)
- Bogyoke Aung San (1948, 1972)
