The Luepolan War (Vierz: Lüpolenkrieg, LuepolanĽupolski rát), also known in Luepola as the Dissidents' War (LuepolanDisidentski rát), was a war fought from 1979 to 1982 between the Vierz Empire and Luepola.

The war was preceded by the March Uprising, in which mass protests and riots led to the ousting of the pro-Vierz Luepolan leadership by sympathetic military officers and members of the Sliet. The new Luepolan government's decision to seek defense arrangements with rival powers such as Arcadia provoked the Vierz invasion itself, which began in the following August. The war ended with the Treaty of Kasenberg, wherein a defeated Luepola surrendered and submitted itself to military rule by the Vierz Armed Forces for eight years.

The Luepolan War remains the deadliest and most destructive war fought in Erisia since the Second Great War.
