The Army of Central Lithuania was the armed forces of the state of Central Lithuania proclaimed by General Lucjan Żeligowski on October 12, 1920.

With the announcement by General Żeligowski of the establishment of Central Lithuania, the army which he commanded and which participated in the Żeligowski's Mutiny automatically became the Army of Central Lithuania. It was reincorporated into Polish Army in 1922 following Poland's annexation of Central Lithuania.

Until 29 November 1920, when the Kaunas Armistice was concluded, Central Lithuania was in the state of an undeclared war with the Republic of Lithuania.
