The United States Military Government of the Ryukyu Islands (琉球列島米国軍政府 Ryūkyū-rettō Beikoku Gunseifu?) was the government in Okinawa, Japan from 1945 to 1950, whereupon it was replaced by the United States Civil Administration of the Ryukyu Islands.[1]

The government was headed by the military governor (軍政長官 Gunsei Chōkan?) and his second-in-command, the Chief Military Government Officer (軍政府長官 Gunsei-fu Chōkan?). They were assisted by the Deputy Commander of the Military Government (軍政府副長官 Gunsei-fu Fuku-chōkan?).[2]
