List of armed groups in the Syrian Civil War

This is a list of armed groups in the Syrian Civil War.

Overall conflict (2011–present)
Note:
 * The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant was formerly part of al-Qaeda, but was disavowed by al-Qaeda General Command, which stated: "It is not affiliated with al-Qaeda and has no relationship with it... al-Qaeda is not responsible for ISIS's actions."
 * The United States alleges that Belarus has provided or attempted to provide direct military support to the Syrian government. Belarus denies this. There are also unconfirmed rumours that Algeria is providing military support to Syria.
 * There is regular conflict between various rebel groups. However, members of the People's Protection Units have occasionally coordinated with the Free Syrian Army. In the Rebel-ISIS conflict, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and Jund al-Aqsa have been fighting the Free Syrian Army, the Syria Revolutionaries Front, the Army of Mujahedeen, the Islamic Front and some units of the al-Nusra Front. Ghuraba al-Sham has clashed with the al-Nusra Front and the al-Tawhid Brigade of the Islamic Front. Members of the Kurdistan Democratic Party of Syria as well as the Kurdish Freedom Party have on occasion clashed with the People's Protection Units, the armed wing of the Democratic Union Party.
 * The Kurdish National Council has joined the Syrian National Coalition—though without officially committing any military forces to the opposition—while simultaneously retaining its membership in the Kurdish Supreme Council alongside the PYD.
 * The Islamic Front is a 2013 merger of two former rebel groups; the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front and the Syrian Islamic Front.
 * The Syrian Electronic Army is a Syrian-government aligned group that is engaged in cyberwarfare.

Rebel coalitions
Note:
 * The sub-groups of Jaysh al-Islam are merged into the group.
 * Not all groups in the Syrian Islamic Liberation Front and the Syrian Islamic Front have agreed (or declined) to be a part of the Islamic Front, despite the leaders of both coalitions having joined the Front as key figures.
