The Democratic Army of Greece (DAG; Greek: Δημοκρατικός Στρατός Ελλάδας - ΔΣΕ, romanized: Dimokratikós Stratós Elládas - DSE) was the army founded by the Communist Party of Greece during the Greek Civil War (1946–1949). At its height, it had a strength of around 50,000 men and women.

The DSE was backed up by the Popular Civil Guard (Λαϊκή Πολιτοφυλακή - ΛΠ), the Communist Party's security police force.
