Batalion Zośka was a Scouting battalion of the Polish Home Army (Armia Krajowa or "AK") during World War II. It mainly consisted of members of the Szare Szeregi boy scouts. A part of the Radosław Regiment, the battalion played a major role in the Warsaw Uprising of 1944.

Zośka was named after Tadeusz Zawadzki, who used the name as his pseudonym during the AK's early days. He was killed during a partisan action.

Other famous AK battalions were: Miotła, Czata, Pięść and Parasol.
