The Army of Victory (Arabic: جيش النصر‎; Jaysh al-Nasr) was an armed opposition faction participating in the Syrian Civil War. Founded in August 2015 as a joint operations room of 16 member groups, three of the groups later fully merged into Jaysh al-Nasr. The group was supplied with US-made BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missiles.

At the Syrian Revolution Victory Conference, which was held on 29 January 2025, most factions of the armed opposition, including Jaysh al-Nasr, announced their dissolution and were incorporated into the newly formed Ministry of Defense.
