The Greek Caucasus Division (Greek: Ελληνική Μεραρχία του Καυκάσου), was a division of the Russian Army composed of ethnic Greeks from the Caucasus and Pontus regions during World War I. Formed in the closing stages of the Caucasus Campaign, it protected the local Greek population from attacks by Muslim militias and the Ottoman army. It was disbanded a year later as a result of the Treaty of Poti.
