War je treći studijski album irske rock skupine U2.

Album se smatra U2-ovim prvim otvorenim političkim albumom, kako zbog pjesama kao što su "Sunday Bloody Sunday" i "New Year's Day", tako i zbog samog naslova (eng. war = rat) koji proizlazi iz U2-ovog doživljaja tadašnjeg svijeta. Dok su središnje teme njihovih ranijih albuma Boy i October bile adolescencija i duhovnost, album War se usredotočuje na fizičku stranu rata kao i na njegove emocionalne posljedice. Album je komentiran kao snimka u kojoj je skupina "pretvorila pacifizam u [križarski] pohod".[1]

War je bio velik komercijalni uspjeh za sastav, skinuvši Michael Jacksonov Thriller s vrha ljestvica kako bi postao prvi U2-ov #1 album u Velikoj Britaniji. Godine 2003., album je rangiran 221 na listi najboljih 500 albuma svih vremena časopisa Rolling Stone.[2] Album je pratila i promotivna turneja War iz koje je 1983. proizašao koncertni audio (Under A Blood Red Sky) i video (Live at Red Rocks: Under A Blood Red Sky) materijal.
