Russian Danube Army (World War I)
The Russian Danube Army was a World War I Russian field army that fought on the Romanian Front.

The army consisted of:
- the 47th Russian Army Corps from 1 - 20 October 1916;
- the 6th Russian Cavalry Corps from October 28, 1916;
The commander of the Army was General Vladimir Viktorovich Sakharov.
In December 1916, the Army was renamed to the 6th Army and became part of the Russian Romanian Front.
