The Anti-Fengtian War (Chinese: 反奉战争; pinyin: Fan Feng Zhan Zheng) was the last major civil war within the Republic of China's northern Beiyang government prior to the Northern Expedition. It lasted from November 1925 to April 1926 and was waged by the Guominjun against the Fengtian clique and their Zhili clique allies. The war ended with the defeat of the Guominjun and the end of the provisional executive government. The war is also known as either Guominjun-Fengtian War (Guo Feng Zhan Zheng, 国奉战争), or the Third Zhili–Fengtian War (Di San Ci Zhi Feng Zhan Zheng, 第三次直奉战争).
