The 53rd Infantry Division (Vietnamese: Sư đoàn bộ binh 53), nicknamed the Blue Headbands or Heaven's Own, is a combined arms infantry division within the Imperial Quenminese Ground Forces. Created in June 1, 1869, they were the one of the first military formations in the Imperial Ground Forces to have integrated several regiments from many fields of the military and served in many wars involving Quenmin. They are currently stationed in Bãi Biển Ngao, within the Tuy Binh Province.

Also, due to its old date of creation, it is one of the oldest modern military formations in Quenmin.
