The Desert Mounted Corps was a World War I Allied army corps that operated in the Middle East (Sinai and Palestine) during 1917 and 1918. Originally formed as the Desert Column in February 1917 under the command of General Sir Philip W.

As the Desert Column the corps contained the Anzac Mounted Division and the Imperial Mounted Division (later to become the Australian Mounted Division). Following the reorganisation, the corps contained:
