The 23rd Serbia Division (Serbo-Croatian Latin: Dvadesettreća srpska divizija) was a Yugoslav Partisan division formed on 6 June 1944 as the 3rd Serbia Division in Toplica. It was formed from the 7th and 9th Serbia Brigades.[1] On 17 June 1944, the 14th Serbia Brigade was added to the division which at the time numbered around 2,000 soldiers.[2] The division was under the direct command of the Supreme Headquarters until 6 September 1944 when it became part of the 14th Corps. On 9 December 1944, it came under the command of the Southern Operational Group and in January 1945 it became part of the 2nd Army.[2]
