The IRGC Provincial Corps, also referred to as Provincial Commands of the IRGC, are the provincial-level territorial commands of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Established in 2008 as part of a broader organizational reform, they are designed to decentralize command and improve the IRGC's ability to respond rapidly to both internal and external threats.

The system is associated with Iran's concept of "mosaic defense", a doctrine that distributes operational responsibilities across geographically based units. This framework allows provincial commands to operate with a degree of autonomy, particularly under conditions in which centralized coordination is disrupted or unavailable.
