Tawhid Brigade (Template:Lang-ar, Template:Lang-en) is an armed group active in the Battle of Aleppo. Its founder, using the pseudonym of Abu Khalid is from the Deraa region. He was a jihadist in Iraq and in the Lebanese based group of Fatah al Islam and was jailed several times in Syria for trying to organize troubles.

They are engaged in the Syrian conflict fighting against the Syrian government. The group crosses the border with Jordan to resupply itself in weapons and fighters. The group had some Libyans and Palestinians waiting to join their ranks.

Its ideology is jihadism, conservative Islamism but they reject Al Qaeda terrorist tactics against women and children and also killing Shia Muslims. They also said that they have had no links with the FSA leadership based in a refugee camp in Turkey.
