The Vyzhvan-Jedorian War was an armed conflict between the Socialist Republic of Jedoria and Vyzhva. The war was fought over territorial disputes between the two countries, emphasized by Jedorian desires to create an overland route linking northern and southern Jedoria territories together in the west. The war began on 11 March 1985 when Jedorian forces crossed the Audrius River and invaded Tamar, and ended when a ceasefire was agreed to on 17 June 1986.

Jedorian efforts were driven by it's de facto dictator, General Secretary Aleksis Kraulis, who had long desired to link Jedoria territories in the west together. Encouraged by Jedorian gains during the Vinyan War, Kraulis ordered Jedorian forces to seize Tamar from the north, while Jedorian forces would strike from the south out of Tikinov and then move north. Jedoria forces made good progress in the north, reaching as far south as the Denala River, but efforts in the south were stonewalled by Vyzhvan resistance. Despite several large scale offenses, Jedorian forces were unable to make significant progress, and after months of perpetual stalemate, Jedoria pushed for a ceasefire, which Vyzhva accepted.

Jedorian gains, despite the ultimate strategic goal not being achieved, are believed to have convinced Kraulis of the ability of Jedoria to seize what it wanted through military force, and is widely considered to have encouraged Jedorian forces to invade Cherniya in 1996. Ironically, Jedoria would eventually achieve the overland connection over a decade after the dissolution of the Socialist Republic, in the aftermath of the 2019 Invasion of Vyzhva.
