The Great China Yunnan Military Governor's Office was a military government established after the Double-Ninth Uprising during the Xinhai Revolution.

On November 3, 1911, Cai E was elected as military governor of Yunnan. The government consisted of a Senate, a Ministry of Military Affairs led by Li Genyuan, and a General Staff. Following the establishment of the Yunnan Military Governor's Office, the office declared the independence of Yunnan Province. Subsequently, a Western Yunnan military government was established. On November 13, Yunnan established the first Yunnan Provincial Assembly.[1]

In 1912, with accordance to the demands of the Beiyang government, the military and civilian administrations were separated, with a Civil Affairs Chief appointed as the highest administrative office. This would cease the Great China Yunnan Military Governor's Office.[2]
