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

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

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

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