The Nineveh Plain Forces (Syriac: ܚܝ̈ܠܘܬܐ ܕܕܫܬܐ ܕܢܝܢܘܐ, romanized: Ḥaylawathe d'Deshta d'Ninwe; Arabic: قوات سهل نينوى; abbreviated as NPF) was an Assyrian militia. Formed in cooperation with the Kurdish Peshmerga, the militia's primary mission was to defend the Nineveh Plains against the Islamic State. The group was affiliated with the Bet-Nahrain Democratic Party and the Beth Nahrain Patriotic Union (HBA), the latter being part of the secular Dawronoye movement. Along with smaller episodes of combat, the group also participated in the Battle of Mosul (2016–2017).
Formed on 6 January 2015, the Nineveh Plain Forces had only a very short time in combat, and was considered defunct by late 2017.
