The Lebanese Resistance Companies (Arabic: سرايا المقاومة اللبنانية; Saraya al-Muqawama al-Lubnaniya), commonly referred to as the Lebanese Resistance Brigades is a non-denominational Lebanese paramilitary group affiliated with Hezbollah. The group is an irregular militia that is composed of Shia and Sunni Muslims, Christians, and Druze who subscribe to Lebanese nationalism and strong anti-Zionist beliefs. The Resistance Companies are funded, trained, armed, and founded by Hezbollah. The group's manpower, composition, and strength are unclear.

The group was founded in 1997 to counter Israel, but its focus has since expanded to countering Sunni extremists like ISIL as well.
