The 1st Caucasian Cavalry Corps (Russian, 1-й Кавказский кавалерийский корпус) was a military formation of the Russian Empire during World War I, from 1915 to 1918, and was part of the Russian Caucasus Army. The corps was formed in October 1915 from parts of the Imperial Russian Caucasian army cavalry to serve as an expeditionary force in Persia to counteract pro-German forces (Persian Campaign). It was formed under the command of the Caucasus Army, but then reorganized into the Caucasus Front in April 1917 as a result of the turmoil caused by the Russian Revolution. It changed names several times throughout the war and was disbanded in June 1918.
