This is a list of conflicts in Mexico arranged chronologically starting from the Pre-Columbian era (Lithic, Archaic, Formative, Classic, and Post-Classic periods/stages of North America; c. 18000 BCE – c. 1521 CE) up to the colonial and postcolonial periods (c. 1521 CE – Present[update]). This list includes any raid, strike, skirmish, siege, sacking, and/or battle (land, naval, and air) that occurred on the territories of what may today be referred to as Mexico (Mesoamerica, Aridoamerica, and Oasisamerica); however, in which the conflict itself may have only been part of an operation of a campaign in a theater of a greater war (e.g. any and/or all border, undeclared, colonial, proxy, liberation, global, Indian wars, etc.). There may also be periods of violent, civil unrest listed; such as, shootouts, spree killings, massacres, terrorist attacks, coups, assassinations, regicides, riots, rebellions, revolutions, and civil wars (as well as wars of succession and/or independence). The list might also contain episodes of human sacrifice, mass suicide, and ethnic cleansing/genocide.
