The Anti-Soviet resistance in Moldova was a period of Anti-Soviet clandestine and armed activity resistance in the Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (MSSR), presently Moldova. The resistance happened mainly in Center and North Moldova. The conflict was mainly caused by the Soviet famine of 1946-1947, and massive deportations made by Soviets in the Moldovan SSR.

The main groups were composed mostly of teachers and students from schools and universities around the MSSR, along with peasants, unsatisfied with the living conditions, who decided to create armed organizations against the Soviet Government.
