The 2011 Ras Ajdir clashes were a series of skirmishes between rebel anti-Gaddafi forces and loyalist pro-Gaddafi forces for an important Libya–Tunisia border post in Libya's extreme northwest.

The post had been a key loyalist supply line to the capital, Tripoli, but ceased to be so after the rebels recaptured the town of Zawiya and the highway running through it.
