The 9th Wisconsin Infantry Regiment was a volunteer infantry regiment that served in the Union Army during the American Civil War. The regiment was informally known as the "German Regiment" on account of its high enlistment of German recruits, primarily from Milwaukee. They spent nearly the entire war on guard and anti-guerilla duty in Kansas, Missouri, and Arkansas, in the western theater of the war.
