Pertempuran Sirte adalah pertempuran terakhir dalam Perang Saudara Libya yang dimulai setelah tentara Dewan Transisi Nasional (NTC) menyerang kota asal Muammar Gaddafi, Sirte. Pada September 2011, hanya tinggal Sirte dan Bani Walid yang masih dikuasai loyali Gaddafi dan NTC berharap bahwa dengan jatuhnya Sirte, perang akan berakhir.[27] Dalam pertempuran ini, Gaddafi sendiri terluka dan ditangkap saat berupaya melarikan diri dari kota. Ia meninggal dalam waktu kurang dari satu jam kemudian. Akibat pertempuran selama hampir sebulan ini, banyak bangunan di Sirte yang hancur.[28]
