The 129th Heavy Mechanized Brigade (Ukrainian: 129-та окрема бригада територіальної оборони) is a military formation of the Ukrainian Ground Forces in Kryvyi Rih. It is part of Operational Command East.

The 101st Defense Battalion of the 108th Territorial Defense Brigade had a peace time strength of 44-46 soldiers and officers. By 25 February its strength was already 545. Colonel Yurii Sinkovskyi commanded the battalion. By 27 February two other battalions were being formed. On 11 March 2022 the battalion, which by this point was a large formation, became the 129th Territorial Defense Brigade.

The brigade took part in the liberation of Arkhanhelske and Myroliubivka. It was awarded its battle flag on 14 October.
