The Royal Army is a group that appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. It is the collective military forces of the Republic of Acorn (formerly the Kingdom of Acorn), dedicated to protecting it, its citizens and its royal family from external or internal threats. It is unknown what size it is, but due to the sheer number of groups it is related to, it is assumed to number thousands of troops.

- Swords: The standard sidearm of the officers and standard soldiers of the army.
- Explosives: Powerful explosives devices e.g. grenades are used in combat to great effect.
- Rifles: Initially munitions technology, due to decrees put in place by previous Kings, were banned and held in disdain, but with open war with the Eggman Empire being declared, the ban on them was lifted by King Maximillian Acorn. Energy weapons are used, though typically only after bows and arrows have proved ineffective.
