The Württembergian Army (German: Württembergische Armee) served as the army of the Kingdom of Württemberg.

The Württembergian Army had its permanent beginnings in the Peace of Westphalia that followed the Thirty Years' War, which permitted states of the Holy Roman Empire to raise standing armies. These troops were, particularly in the 18th century, sometimes used in Soldatenhandel and lent to foreign powers; this practice was often criticized as a form of mercenary service.
