The Oregon–Oregon State football rivalry (also known by some fans as the Civil War) is an American college football rivalry game played annually in the state of Oregon between the Ducks of the University of Oregon in Eugene and the Beavers of Oregon State University in Corvallis.

First played 131 years ago in 1894, it is the fifth-most played college football rivalry game in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Oregon State is still a member of the Pac-12 Conference while Oregon moved to the Big Ten Conference on August 1, 2024. The campuses are less than fifty miles (80 km) apart in the Willamette Valley. The series has now been played continuously since 1945. Though not officially recognized by the universities, the Platypus Trophy is awarded annually to the winning team’s alumni association.
