The 10th Light Horse Regiment is a "mounted infantry" regiment of the Australian Army Reserve, raised in Western Australia (WA).
While the name of the 10th Light Horse originated in the first months of World War I, the regiment traces its ceremonial lineage to mounted infantry units of the colonial militia of Western Australia, raised during the late 19th century, such as the Western Australian Mounted Infantry (WAMI).
For several weeks following the outbreak of World War I, "light horsemen" (mounted infantry) from the 5th Military District (WA) who had volunteered for overseas service with the Army's Australian Imperial Force (AIF), were formed into "C" Squadron of the 7th Light Horse Regiment.
On 10 October 1914, "C" Squadron was officially re-designated the 10th Light Horse Regiment. It was the only AIF light horse unit raised in Western Australia.
Following its return to Australia, the 10th Light Horse Regiment was disbanded in 1919.
From July 1919 the 25th Australian Light Horse Regiment was renamed the 10th Australia Light Horse Regiment, while retaining the territorial title Western Australia Mounted Infantry (WAMI).
After World War Two (WW2) the Regiment was disbanded on 14 April 1944.
It was reformed as a single squadron in 1949 and was renamed the 10th Western Australian Mounted Infantry.
Expanded to a full regiment in 1952, it was again renamed as the 10th Light Horse in 1956.
2001 it formally became a part of the Army Reserve's 13th Brigade. In October 2021, the 10th Light Horse was re-raised from a single squadron to full regimental status.
