The Luweero Triangle, sometimes spelled Luwero Triangle, is an area of Uganda north of the capital Kampala, where, in 1981, Yoweri Museveni started the guerrilla war that propelled him and his National Resistance Movement into power in 1986. The war was fought between the National Resistance Army led by Yoweri Museveni and the army of the late Milton Obote.

Museveni starts his campaigns in Luwero Triangle in recognition of its historical support.
