The Tenth Army () was a Field army of the French Army during World War I. It took part in the Battle of the Somme in 1916. The Tenth Army, under the title of the French Expeditionary Force, moved onto the Italian Front in 1917 alongside the British Expeditionary Force (Italy) at the request of the Italian Supreme Commander, General Luigi Cadorna. For this operation the army included the 12th Army Corps. The Italians had been pushed back at the Battle of Caporetto by German Army reinforced Austro-Hungarian divisions. French forces were settled mostly west of the city of Verona, supposedly to counter a rumoured offensive by Austro-Hungarian forces that would purportedly come from the County of Tyrol via the Adige river valley.
