The Transvaal Civil War was a series of skirmishes during the early 1860s in the South African Republic, or Transvaal, in the area now comprising the Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumalanga, and North West provinces of South Africa.

The war ended in 1864, when an armistice treaty was signed under a karee tree south of the site of the later town of Brits.
