Ameriška osamosvojitvena vojna (tudi ameriška revolucijska vojna) je oznaka za vojaški del ameriške revolucije.
Primarno je bil to oboroženi konflikt med Združenim kraljestvom in ZDA zaradi nezadovoljstva s kolonialno politiko, ki je vplivala na gospodarstvo ZDA. Britanci so namreč Američane obremenili z visokimi davki in omejevanjem trgovanja. Povod vojne za neodvisnost je bila Bostonska čajanka.[navedi vir] Pozneje so v vojno stopile tudi Francija, Španija in Nizozemska, ki so podpirale ZDA. Trajala je od leta 1775- 1783.
Medtem ko je imelo Združeno kraljestvo premoč na morju, ni imelo dosti vpliva na kopnem. Toda s prihodom Francoske vojne mornarice je Kraljeva vojna mornarica izgubila tudi ta položaj.
Vojna se je končala leta 1783 s podpisom pariškega sporazuma.
