14th Imam Hossein Division (Persian: لشکر 14 امام حسین (ع)) is a division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

It was first officially organized as the 3rd Imam Hossein Brigade during Iran–Iraq War, just before Operation Tariq al-Qods. Its units had participated in various clashes after the 1979 Revolution, and its fighters were mostly from the Isfahan province. It was later expanded into a division. It participated in various key operations of the Iran-Iraq war.

Describing the IRGC units during the Iran-Iraq war, then-commander-in-chief of IRGC Mohsen Rezaei says:^[1]

We had four divisions that, anywhere they went, no [Iraqi] military force was able to resist against them. Haj Hemmat and [his] 27th Mohammad Rasulullah Division, Hossein Kharrazi and [his] 14th Imam Hossein Division, Mehdi Bakeri and [his] 31st Ashura Division, Ahmad Kazemi and [his] 8th Najaf Division—which whenever they entered, it resulted in success without exception.
