The Silesian Wars () refer to three conflicts between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Habsburg Monarchy for control of Silesia and the County of Kladsko from 1740 to 1763. The First (1740-1742) and Second Silesian War (1744-1745) denote Prussian campaigns in the larger War of the Austrian Succession, while the "Third Silesian War" is better known as the Seven Years' War (1756-1763).
