The Esteiran conflict (Esteiran: Conflito armado interno de Esteira) is a low-intensity asymmetric war currently ongoing within the Gondwanan country of Esteira. It is being fought between the government of Esteira, far-right paramilitary groups, and left-wing guerilla groups vying to increase their control and power over Esteiran territory.

The conflict is historically rooted in what is known as A Aquisição, which directly led to the decline of democracy in Esteira and the creation of a dictatorship headed by its current president, Luis Souza. In response to the violent suppression of protestors and the arrests of members of the National Liberal Party, the Liberation Forces of Esteira (FLE) were organized to violently combat Souza's government.

Reasons for fighting vary between each group. The FLE and ENL claim to be fighting perceived injustices and sapient rights violations by Souza's government, seeking to overthrow the president and establish free and fair elections. The Esteiran government claims to be fighting for order, justice, and stability, and to protect the interests of its citizens. The paramilitary groups claim to be fighting perceived wrongdoing by the guerillas, though the GAA has come in direct conflict with the Esteiran government.
