The Armed Partisans (, or PA) was a faction of the resistance in German-occupied Belgium in World War II. The group was affiliated to the Belgian Communist Party. In 1941, many of its members left to join the "Front de l'Independance" while the rest of the group was undermined in 1943 when almost all the leadership of the group and the Communist Party were arrested by German forces. It was renamed the Belgian Army of Partisans' (Armée belge des partisans) after the Liberation of Belgium in September 1944.
