14th Imam Hossein Division ({{langx|fa|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:{{cite web |last1=سلیمانی |first1=وحید |title=شهيد احمد کاظمي، دٌر غلطان سپاه |url=https://www.tabnak.ir/fa/news/369328/%D8%B4%D9%87%D9%8A%D8%AF-%D8%A7%D8%AD%D9%85%D8%AF-%DA%A9%D8%A7%D8%B8%D9%85%D9%8A-%D8%AF%D9%8C%D8%B1-%D8%BA%D9%84%D8%B7%D8%A7%D9%86-%D8%B3%D9%BE%D8%A7%D9%87 |website=www.tabnak.ir |accessdate=26 July 2019 |language=Persian}}
{{quote|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.}}
