预防性战争是當某一方認為军事冲突雖然不是迫在眉睫,但已不可避免,拖延下去将带来更大风险而發動的戰爭。 [1] 進攻的一方認為被攻击的一方會威脅自己,而且未来被攻击的一方很有可能會主動发动攻击[2][3]。若是進攻的一方認為自己即将被袭击,而率先進攻對方,則是先发制人的打击[2]

不過有人認為,未经联合国批准而发动的预防性战争在並不符合国际法[4][5][6][7],并且缺乏法律依据。[8]联合国威胁、挑战和改革问题高级别小组英语High-level Panel on Threats, Challenges and Change認為如果有充分理由发动预防性战争,则应将理由提交联合国安全理事会討論,由联合国安全理事会授权發動預防性戰爭。 [9]
