The Idlib Martyrs' Brigade ({{langx|ar|لواء شهداء إدلب}}, Liwa Shuhada Idlib) was an armed rebel group that fought against the Syrian government in the Idlib Governorate of Syria.{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/syrian-rebels-desperate-for-weapons/|title=Syrian rebels desperate for weapons|work=CBS|date=24 February 2012|access-date=17 January 2014}} It first operated under the name Syrian Liberation Army ({{langx|ar|جيش التحرير السوري}}), but had renamed itself by the end of April 2012.
