27th "Mohammad Rasulullah" Division (Template:Lang-fa) was a division of the Army of the Guardians of Islamic Revolution based in Tehran.

It was established as the 27th "Mohammad Rasulullah" Brigade by Ahmad Motevasselian during Iran-Iraq war, and was expanded into a division just before the Operation Jerusalem.

The division was merged with the Basij of Greater Tehran and turned into the Mohammad Rasulullah Corps of Greater Tehran during reforms in the structure of the IRGC.
