The Egyptian Army (Egyptian Arabic: الجيش المصري, romanized: El Geish el Masry, Coptic: Ⲛⲉⲛⲁⲗⲁⲥⲱϯ ⲛ̀ⲕⲏⲙⲓ) or Egyptian Ground Forces (Egyptian Arabic: القوات البرية المصرية, romanized: El-Quwwāt El-Barriyya El-Maṣriyya) is the land warfare branch of the Egyptian Armed Forces. It is the largest service branch of the Egyptian Armed Forces.

The modern army was established during the reign of Muhammad Ali Pasha (1805–1849), widely considered to be the "founder of modern Egypt". Its most significant engagements in the 20th century were in Egypt's five wars with the State of Israel (in 1948, 1956, 1967, 1967–1970, and 1973), one of which, the Suez Crisis of 1956, also saw it do combat with the armies of the United Kingdom and France. The Egyptian army was also engaged heavily in the protracted North Yemen Civil War, and the brief Egyptian–Libyan War in July 1977. Its last major engagement was Operation Desert Storm, the liberation of Kuwait from Iraqi occupation in 1991, in which the Egyptian army constituted the second-largest contingent of the allied forces.

As of 2023^[update], the army has an estimated strength of 310,000 of which approximately 90,000–120,000 are professionals and the rest conscripts. There exists an additional 375,000 reservists.^[1]
