The '''Khabur Guards''' ({{lang-ar|مجلس حرس الخابور الآشوري|translit=Majlis Ḥars al-Khābūr al-Āshūrī}}) is a Christian militia in [[Syria]] created after the collapse of [[Politics of Syria|Syrian government]] control in the [[Assyrian people|Assyrian]]-majority [[Khabur (Euphrates)|Khabur]] valley in the northwest of [[al-Hasakah Governorate]].
 
The militia is composed of local Assyrians and maintains checkpoints in several Assyrian settlements, most notably [[Tell Tamer]]. It was initially established as an independent force, but is now affiliated with the Kurdish-led [[Syrian Democratic Forces]]. Though officially neutral and [[Nonpartisanism|nonpartisan]], the Khabur Guards are ''de facto'' affiliated with the [[Assyrian Democratic Party]]{{sfnp|Rashid|2018|p=37}} along with [[Nattoreh]], and as a part of the [[Syriac Military Council#Syriac-Assyrian Military Council|Syriac-Assyrian Military Council]] of the Syrian Democratic Forces, they are affiliated with the [[Syriac Union Party (Syria)|Syriac Union Party]].
