The Abuzar Brigade (Persian: تیپ ابوذر Tyip Abozar, Arabic: لواء أبوزر Liwa' 'Abuzr), also known as the Abuzar Division (Persian: لشکر ابوذر Lashkar-e-Abuzar, Arabic: فرقة ابوذر Firqat Abuzar), was an Afghan Shia militia that fought in the Iran–Iraq War on the side of Iran. During the war, the group was mainly stationed in the mountainous areas of Northwestern Iran, as they had experience in both mountain and irregular warfare from the Soviet-Afghan War.
