Beginning in the 17th century, the mercenary army of the [[Grand Duchy of Lithuania]] included dragoon units. In the middle of the 17th century there were 1,660 dragoons in an army totaling 8,000 men. By the 18th century there were four regiments of dragoons.

Lithuanian cavalrymen served in dragoon regiments of both the Russian and Prussian armies, after the [[Partitions of Poland|Partitions]] of the [[Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth]].
