The Siege of San Salvador (Creeperian Spanish: Cerco de San Salvador), also called the Battle of San Salvador (Batalla de San Salvador), was the largest, lengthiest, and deadliest confrontation of the Creeperian Civil War, in which the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council and the National Council for Peace and Order fought for control of the city of San Salvador, the capital city of Creeperopolis.

The Miguelist offensive to capture San Salvador began in May 1946. The attack was supported by the Miguelist Air Force bombing which reduced much of the city to rubble. The fighting degenerated into house-to-house fighting; both sides poured reinforcements into the city to prevent the other from gaining complete control. By 1948, 60% of the city had been reduced to rubble.

In June 1949, the Miguelists launched an offensive into western San Salvador which failed. The Romerists responded and launched an offensive into the eastern parts of the city controlled by the Miguelists. The Miguelists began to fall apart and a retreat order was given. Romero II ordered a no-quarter on Miguelist prisoners of war. The Miguelists completely withdrew out of the San Salvador Valley on August 30, 1949. The siege lasted three years, three months, one week, and six days.
