The Lithuanian Separate Corps (Russian: Литовский отдельный корпус, romanized: Litovskiy otdel'nyy korpus, lit. 'Lithuanian Separate Corps', Lithuanian: Lietuviškasis atskirasis korpusas, Polish: Korpus Litewski) was a corps of the Imperial Russian Army, founded in 1817. It was associated with the Army of Congress Poland.
After the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829), the Lithuanian Corps was renamed as the VI Corps. The Lithuanian Corps was disbanded in 1831 after the Polish–Lithuanian Uprising of 1831.
The corps, except for the guard units, was recruited from Lithuanians and Poles, which set it apart from the rest of the Imperial Russian Army. The guard units were recruited mostly from Russians.
