Black Sea Cossack Host (Черноморское казачье войско) was a Cossack host created in 1787 in Southern Ukraine from former Zaporozhians. In 1790s the host was resettled to Kuban River. It defended the Caucasus Fortified Defence Line from the inlet of Kuban River to the inlet of the Bolshaya Laba River.

In 1860 it was included into the newly created Kuban Cossack Host.
