Pasukan Perlawanan Tuhan (Inggris: Lord's Resistance Army, disingkat LRA), dibentuk tahun 1987, adalah pasukan gerilyawan Kristen yang beroprasi di Uganda utara dan sebagian Sudan. Pasukan ini memberontak terhadap pemerintahan Uganda. Kelompok ini dipimpin oleh Joseph Kony, yang menyatakan dirinya sebagai juru bicara Tuhan. Sejak tahun 2005 telah ada klaim bahwa kelompok tersebut telah memasuki Republik Demokratik Kongo, tetapi pada tahun 2007 dilaporkan bahwa mereka berada di Republik Afrika Tengah.[1] LRA telah dituduh sebagai pelanggar hak asasi manusia yang meluas, termasuk pembunuhan, penculikan, mutilasi, perbudakan sex-anak, dan memaksa anak-anak untuk berpartisipasi dalam permusuhan.[2][3]
Secara ideologis, LRA percaya pada mistik Afrika dan fundamentalisme Kristen.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14] Klaim ini untuk membangun negara teokratis didasarkan pada Sepuluh Perintah Allah dan tradisi lokal Acholi.[15][16][17]
