The 104th Guards Airborne Division (Russian: 104-я гвардейская воздушно-десантная дивизия) is a division of the Soviet Airborne Troops and the Russian Airborne Forces. It was originally formed as the 11th Guards Airborne Division during World War II. In December 1944, the 11th Guards Airborne Division became the 104th Guards Rifle Division. On 7 June 1946, the division was renamed the 104th Guards Airborne Division. It was reduced to the 31st Guards Airborne Brigade in May 1998.

In 2023 the division was re-activated as the 104th Guards Air Assault Division to participate in the war in Ukraine.
