The Tuareg Rebellion (19611964) was an uprising led by Tuareg rebels against the government of Mali.

After Mali and Niger gained independence from France in 1960, the Tuareg felt largely left out of the new governments. Complaining about policies by the Malian government – especially a planned land reform that could infringe upon their traditional areas – a small group of Tuareg in Mali began a guerilla-style rebellion, attacking government targets in the northern part of the country (where most lived). The insurgency lasted from 1961-1964, and was harshly suppressed from the Malian military, which eventually defeated the rebels. Many Tuareg fled to other countries to avoid the situation, as the military purportedly targeted both rebels and non-rebels during the period. No such violent activity occurred in Niger at the time.
