The Israel Defense Forces 91st Division "Galilee" (Hebrew: אוגדה 91), known also as the Galilee Formation (Hebrew: עֻצְבַּת הַגָּלִיל, Utzbat HaGalil), is a territorial division in the IDF Northern Command, responsible for the front with Lebanon, from Rosh HaNikra up to, but not including Mount Dov. In May 2025 it resumed responsibility for this entire front, the western portion having previously been covered by the 146th Division.[1]

Its headquarters are located at Biranit, Israel, along with a military police investigations base.
