Ahrar al-Sharqiya is a militant group from Syria. Many of its fighters are former members of Daesh, Ahrar al-Sham, and Jabhat Al-Nusra.

The group got international media attention in 2019 after the murder of  Hevrin Khalaf being condemned by the UN as a "war crime".

The group is funded by Turkey and members were sent to fight in Libya on Turkey's behalf. The group has also supported military operations against the SDF in Syria.
