A '''Cossack host''' ({{langx|uk|козацьке військо|translit=kozatske viisko}}; {{langx|ru|каза́чье во́йско}}, ''kazachye voysko''), sometimes translated as '''Cossack army''', was an administrative subdivision of [[Cossack]]s in the [[Russian Empire]]. Earlier the term ''voysko'' ([[wikt:host#English|host]], in a sense as a [[Doublet (linguistics)|doublet]] of ''guest'') referred to Cossack organizations in their historical territories, most notable being the [[Zaporozhian Host]] of [[Zaporozhian Cossacks]].
