The 92nd Mixed Brigade (Spanish: 92ª Brigada Mixta) was a unit of the Spanish Republican Army formed during the Spanish Civil War (1936‑1939). It was one of the numerous "mixed brigades" (brigadas mixtas) that constituted the primary tactical formation of the Republican Popular Army after the re‑organization of the militias in late 1936‑early 1937.

Contextual notes
- Mixed brigades were the standard infantry formation of the Republican army, each typically numbering around 3,000 – 4,000 personnel and combining several battalions with support units.
- The numbering of brigades was sequential; the 92nd designation indicates that it was created after the initial wave of brigades (1st‑30th) and therefore likely in early‑mid‑1937.
Encyclopedic status
Detailed operational history, commander lists, and exact organizational attachments for the 92nd Mixed Brigade are not extensively covered in mainstream encyclopedic sources. Consequently, while the existence of a 92nd Mixed Brigade is acknowledged, the publicly available record provides only limited information about its specific actions and structure.
Insufficient Encyclopedic Information is noted for precise data on formation date, garrison location, division assignment, and combat record.
