Ali's Eastern Campaigns were military expeditions sent by the fourth Rashidun caliph Ali to the eastern borders of the Caliphate in order to subjugate rebels and suppress bandits across the Indus Valley region in the midst of the First Fitna. The campaigns resulted in the victory of Ali's forces, and the Caliphate reasserting its authority over its eastern provinces.
