The 35th Division (Spanish: 35.ª División)[1] was a division of the Spanish Republican Army in the Spanish Civil War.

This unit was established in March 1937 in order to gather certain scattered units of the International Brigades under one command, therefore it was also known as the 35th International Division (35.ª División Internacional). It took part in some of the major battles of the conflict such as Brunete, Teruel and the Battle of the Ebro persistently being afflicted by numerous casualties, especially in the latter.
