The 71st Jaeger Brigade (Ukrainian: 71-ша окрема єгерська бригада, romanized: 71-sha okrema yeherska bryhada; 71 ОЄБр Military Unit Number A4030) is a air assault light infantry (Jäger) brigade of the Ukrainian Air Assault Forces, formed in 2022 in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The 71st Jaeger Brigade was created soon after the launch of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which escalated the Russo-Ukrainian War on 24 February 2022.

Between 5 and 8 September, its fighters crossed the Donets River and led an offensive on Balakliia, coming from the direction of Husarivka.
