The Pelinese White Army (Pelinese: ペリナイ白軍, Perinai Shirogun), also referred to as the Pelinese Army (ペリナイ陸軍, Perinai Rikugun) or the White Army (白軍, Shirogun), is the land warfare service arm of the Pelinese Armed Forces and is responsible for conducting ground combat operations. It is the largest branch of service under the Pelinese Armed Forces, with approximately 350,000 active duty personnel in 2022.

The Pelinese White Army has existed in various forms since July 9, 1979, when the Army of Pelinese Restoration and the National Revolutionary Brigades merged together shortly after the White Revolution and the outset of the Pelinese Civil War. The Pelinese White Army encompassed all aspects of warfare and functioned as the entire armed forces of the Pelinese Provisional Government until the general Pelinese governmental reorganization of 1983-1984 separated its naval, air, and militia elements into independent branches.
