War Tour är namnet på U2:s tredje konsertturné, genomförd 1982-1983.

Albumet War gavs inte ut förrän i februari 1983 men redan i december året innan inleddes Pre-War Tour. Bland annat Konserthuset i Stockholm besöktes då. Dock spelades endast tre låtar från det kommande albumet under dessa konserter. I slutet av februari 1983 startade turnén på "riktigt" med 28 raka utsålda spelningar i Storbritannien. Under våren gavs 48 konserter i USA där U2 fortfarande hade svårt att slå igenom i mainstreamradio. Reklambudskap som "U2 declares war!" syftade på att man vill slå ut den vanliga tråkiga "tuggummipopen". New Year's Day fick mycket speltid på MTV och gruppens tidigare turnerande gav dem en trogen skara fans.

I juni filmades en legendarisk konsert på en amfiteater utanför Denver. Den gavs ut som en konsertvideo och livealbum under namnet Under a Blood Red Sky. Det vackra och dramatiska landskapet i kombination med regnet, ljussättningen och U2:s energi på scenen visades sig vara en lyckad kombination. Delar av filmen, framförallt Sunday Bloody Sunday, visades ofta på MTV vilket gav bandet än mer status som liveband. Tidningen Rolling Stone listade videon som ett av 50 Moments that Changed Rock and Roll år 2004.

Under sommaren spelade U2 på en del sommarfestivaler, bland annat i Oslo. Turnén avslutades i november med bandets första besök i Japan.

Trots namnet War Tour var hela budskapet för turnén fred, vilket bland annat illustrerades med vita flaggor på scenen.
