Jabhat Ansar al-Islam ({{langx|ar|جبهة أنصار الإسلام}}; Supporters of Islam Front), originally formed as Tajamu' Ansar al-Islam ({{langx|ar|تجمع أنصار الإسلام}}; Assembly of the Supporters of Islam) in August 2012, is an independent Sunni Islamist Syrian rebel group active in the Quneitra and Daraa Governorates.

Jabhat Ansar al-Islam is among dozens of Syrian rebel groups that have in the past been supplied with US-made BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles and Soviet-made 9K32 Strela-2 MANPADS with US approval.{{Cite news|url=https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/syria-war-rebel-group-supplied-anti-air-missiles|title=Syria war: Rebel group supplied with anti-air missiles|newspaper=Middle East Eye|access-date=2022-07-19|date=23 November 2016}}
