Libyan civil war may refer to any of the following conflicts which occurred in what is today the country of Libya:


 * The 1711 Karamanli coup, a popular revolt at the end of a period of civil war in Tripolitania led by the Turkish officer Ahmed Karamanli against the ruling Tripolitanian bey, in which Karamanli seized control of Tripoli and installed himself as the head of the Karamanli dynasty, which ruled over Tripolitania, Cyrenaica, and Fezzan for 124 years as a semi-autonomous Ottoman province.


 * The 1793-1795 Tripolitanian civil war following the end of the corrupt and ineffective rule of Ali I in 1793 and lasting until 1795, when his son Yusuf Karamanli took control of the throne.


 * The 1835-1858 revolt in Ottoman Libya at the end of the Karamanli rule, in which tribal leaders such as 'Abd al-Jalil and Ghuma al-Mahmudi revolted against central Ottoman rule, which ended after Ghuma's death in 1858.


 * The 1920 Jabal al-Gharbi civil war in the Nafusa Mountains and surrounding areas fought between local tribal leaders competing for political offices in the Tripolitanian Republic.


 * The 2011 Libyan civil war between forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi and anti-Gaddafi forces.
