Johor–Jambi wars were a series of conflicts between the Jambi Sultanate and the Johor Sultanate after the Fall of Portuguese Malacca and the decline of Aceh Sultanate, marked by the expansion of the influence of Johor Sultanate which endangered the position of the Jambi Sultanate. The war ended in the Jambi recapture of Kuala Tungkal and Indragiri, and the destruction of many Johor and Jambi cities.
