The Battle of Athens (sometimes called the McMinn County War) was a rebellion led by citizens in Athens and Etowah, Tennessee, United States, against the local government in August 1946. The citizens, including some World War II veterans, accused the local officials of predatory policing, police brutality, political corruption, and voter intimidation.

In the end it culminated in a siege at a jailhouse in which corrupt officials had taken a defensive position. Quite an ironic place for their last stand.
