The Mizo people in Myanmar, historically Burma National Lushais (Burmese: လူရှိုင်း) are Myanmar citizens with full or partial Mizo ancestry. Although various Mizo tribes have lived in Myanmar for the past centuries, the first batch of Mizos migrated back to Myanmar starting from the mid-19th century till the 20th due to the Mizo National Front uprising.[2]

The Mizo people do not influence the rest of Myanmar culturally but Mizoram, the native land of the Mizos, has been helping refugees from Myanmar since 1962 after Myanmar's first coup. It was more noticiable after the 8888 Uprising in 1988 and the coup and civil war in 2021.[3] They have also raised funds; such as the Chinlung Chuak Artists, a band of Mizo and Burmese singers finding funds for the displaced in Myanmar.

The exact population of the Mizos is estimated to be 250,000-400,000 in Myanmar. Among them, over 200,000 reside in the town of Kalay. They are part of the Mizo diaspora and the larger Zo community.
