預防性戰爭是當某一方認為軍事衝突雖然不是迫在眉睫,但已不可避免,拖延下去將帶來更大風險而發動的戰爭。 [1] 進攻的一方認為被攻擊的一方會威脅自己,而且未來被攻擊的一方很有可能會主動發動攻擊[2][3]。若是進攻的一方認為自己即將被襲擊,而率先進攻對方,則是先發制人的打擊[2]

不過有人認為,未經聯合國批准而發動的預防性戰爭在並不符合國際法[4][5][6][7],並且缺乏法律依據。[8]聯合國威脅、挑戰和改革問題高級別小組英語High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change認為如果有充分理由發動預防性戰爭,則應將理由提交聯合國安全理事會討論,由聯合國安全理事會授權發動預防性戰爭。 [9]
