The 6000-mark war (Swedish: 6000-markskriget, Danish: 6000-marks-krigen) was a war between Denmark and Sweden which took place from 1276 to 1278. It started because of a disagreement over an agreed sum of 6,000 silver marks for Danish assistance to Magnus Birgersson in the battle against Valdemar Birgersson in 1275.
