The Irish War of Independence (or Tan War, or Anglo-Irish War, Irish: Cogadh na Saoirse) from January 1919 to July 1921 was a guerrilla war mounted against the British government in Ireland by the Irish Republican Army (IRA).

The IRA that fought in this conflict is often referred to as the Old IRA to distinguish it from later organisations that used the same name.
