The Muntasir Billah Division (Arabic: فرقة المنتصر بالله, romanized: Firqah al-Muntasir bi-llah),[a] also known by its original name Muntasir Billah Brigade (Arabic: لواء المنتصر بالله, romanized: Liwa al-Muntasir bi-llah, lit. "God's Victory Brigade"),[3][4] is a predominantly ethnic Turkmen Free Syrian Army militia that has taken part in the Syrian Civil War. One of the most prominent pro-Turkish formations in the FSA, the group fought in the Battle of Aleppo (2012–2016) and other campaigns in Aleppo Governorate against the Syrian government, ISIL, and the SDF. The exact origin of the current Muntasir Billah Brigade is unclear, and it is possible that it originated as remnant of a rebel group that had been active in Raqqa Governorate until being subsumed by the al-Nusra Front and ISIL in 2013.
