The Border Guard Police (abbreviated BGP) are a department of Myanmar's police force specialising in border security. The BGP operate in northern Rakhine State and are especially active along the Bangladesh–Myanmar border, due to the ongoing exodus of Rohingya people fleeing sectarian violence in Myanmar. In addition to border security, the BGP are also responsible for maintaining checkpoints and documenting the movement of Rohingyas within Rakhine State.

Insurgents of the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army have repeatedly attacked BGP posts along the Bangladesh–Myanmar border in revenge for the BGP's mistreatment of the Rohingya.
