The OLA insurgency is an armed insurgency between the Oromo Liberation Army (OLA), which split from the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) in 2018, and the Ethiopian government, continuing in the context of the long-term Oromo conflict, typically dated to have started with the formation of the Oromo Liberation Front in 1973.

The insurgency has gained strength in recent years, though it is not sufficiently armed or organized enough to pose a serious threat to the government.

On 1 December 2024, a peace agreement was signed between the OLA leader Jaal Senay Negasa and Oromia President Shimelis Abdisa.
