The 41st Tharallah Division (also spelled Sarallah) (Persian: لشکر 41 ثارالله) was a division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps from 1980 until it was merged into the Sarallah Corps of Kerman Province in 2008.
In 1980, a battalion was established consisting of forces from Sistan and Baluchestan province, Hormozgan province and Kerman province to fight in the Iran–Iraq War. In 1981, it was expanded and organized as the 41st Tharallah Brigade (Persian: تیپ 41 ثارالله). It was further expanded to comprise 4 battalions by 1982, and 6 battalions later in that year. It was eventually expanded to a division on 7 February 1983, with three infantry brigades and one armored battalion. In 1984, another brigade and one independent anti-armor battalion joined the division. The Anti-Armor Independent Battalion was expanded to the Anti-Armor Brigade a year later.
Throughout the Iran-Iraq war, the commander of the unit was Qassem Soleimani.[1]

Mohammad Hejazi was commander who oversaw the suppression of the civil unrest in the 2009 Iranian presidential election protests.[3]
