The Strasbourg Bishops' War (German: Bischöflicher Krieg or Straßburger Kapitelstreit; French: Guerre des Evêques; Alsatian: D'r Bischäflig Kriag) (1592–1604) was a conflict between Catholics and Protestants for control of the Bishopric of Strasbourg. It was one of only two sectarian or confessional conflicts, both highly localised, that occurred within the Holy Roman Empire between the Peace of Augsburg (1555) and the outbreak of the Thirty Years' War (1618).
