Wilno District of the Home Army, was an independent territorial unit of the Union of Armed Struggle and later the Home Army during World War II. The district covered the area of pre-war Wilno Voivodeship; the district's Inspectorate E also operated on the territory of pre-war Lithuania. The district commander was Lt. Col. Nikodem Sulik "Jodko", and after his arrest in April 1941, Major Aleksander Krzyżanowski "Wilk". The district was formally disbanded on February 8, 1945 with the self-dissolution of the Home Army. However, it was soon reconstituted as the Extraterritorial Wilno District of the Home Army, in central Poland with its headquarters in Gdańsk. There were still units operating in the Vilnius Region, maintaining contact with the command, but they were gradually broken up by Soviet forces.
