Jebel Akhdar War (Arabic: حرب الجبل الأخضر Ḥarb al-Jebel el-ʾAkhḍar) or Jebel Akhdar rebellion erupted in 1954 and again in 1957 in Oman, as an effort by Imam Ghalib bin Ali Al Hinai to protect the Imamate of Oman lands from the Sultan Said bin Taimur. The war continued until 1959, when British armed forces were involved in aiding the Sultan and winning the war.
