The Feud of the Sviatoslavichi (Ukrainian: Усобиця Святославичів, romanized: Usobytsya Svyatoslavychiv) was a war of succession in Kievan Rus' in the late 970s (the precise dating is uncertain), between the sons of the Kievan prince Sviatoslav I Igorevich (died 972), for 'eldership' after the death of their father.
