The Adalite Civil War (1518–1526) was an eight-year-long internal conflict within the Adal Sultanate between the Walashma dynasty and the forces of Garad Abogn ibn Adish. The war ultimately led to the rise of Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi, who later launched the Conquest of Abyssinia (Futūḥ Al-Ḥabaša).
