The War of the Supremes (Spanish: Guerra de los Supremos, also called the Guerra de los Conventos, 'war of the convents') was a civil conflict in Republic of the New Granada (present-day Colombia) from 1839 to 1842 caused by the ambitions of various regional leaders (gamonales) to seize power and depose President José Ignacio de Márquez. It was called the War of the Supremes because of the participation of General José María Obando and other revolutionary gamonales who called themselves jefes supremos ('supreme chiefs').
