The Eosian Civil War is an ongoing civil war in the Eosia Islands involving the Jacob Natua government and various rebel groups that oppose both the government and each other, in varying combinations.

Unrest in the Eosia Islands began in early 2018 as a result of the long-standing authoritarian rule of Jacob Natua, the country's current president. Tensions exploded on March 7, 2018 with attacks on police stations and the formation of the Eosia Islands National Liberation Front. A number of other rebel groups were formed shortly after. The war is currently being fought between the government and the rebel factions, with each rebel faction opposing each other at various intervals. The war has largely been fought in the interior of the country's islands. As of 2022, the government controls only an estimated 33.6% of the country's territory.
