The Kurdish Front (Arabic: جبهة الأكراد, transliterated: Jabhat al-Akrād; Kurdish: Eniya Kurdan, former full name: لواء جبهة الأكراد لنصرة شعبنا السوري Liwa' Jabhat al-'Akrād an-Nuṣrah Shaʿbnā al-Sūrī, "Brigade of the Kurdish Front to Support Our Syrian People") is a predominantly Kurdish Syrian rebel faction participating in the Syrian Civil War.
The Kurdish Front operates in Kurdish and ethnically mixed areas in northern Syria, such as the Sheikh Maqsood and Ashrafiyeh districts of Aleppo city, Afrin Canton, the Shahba region, and the northern Raqqa Governorate. It also fought as part of Fatah Halab in the Bustan al-Pasha, Haidariya, and Handarat districts of Aleppo city until November 2015, when Fatah Halab declared war on the Army of Revolutionaries.
