27th Mohammad Rasulullah Division (Template:Lang-fa) was a division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps based in Tehran.^[1]

It was established as the 27th Mohammad Rasulullah Brigade by Ahmad Motevasselian and Mohammad Ebrahim Hemmat during Iran–Iraq War, and was expanded into a division just before the Operation Jerusalem.

Describing the IRGC units during the Iran-Iraq war, then-commander-in-chief of IRGC Mohsen Rezaei says:^[2]

We had four divisions that, anywhere they went, no [Iraqi] military force was able to resist against them. Haj Hemmat and [his] 27th Mohammad Rasulullah Division, Hossein Kharrazi and [his] 14th Imam Hossein Division, Mehdi Bakeri and [his] 31st Ashura Division, Ahmad Kazemi and [his] 8th Najaf Division—which whenever they entered, it resulted in success without exception.

The division was merged with the Basij of Greater Tehran to form the Mohammad Rasulullah Corps of Greater Tehran during to rearrangements of the IRGC units in 2008.
