The Libyan-Egyptian War is a short border war between Libya and Egypt in July 1977.

Tensions between the two countries have increased during April and May 1977 as demonstrators attack the embassies of both countries.

On July 21, 1977 gun battles between troops on the border begin, followed by land and air attacks on both sides.

A ceasefire is agreed to on July 24, having being organized by Algeria's president.
