The Grouse Creek War was a mining conflict that took place in 1867 near the gold-rush town of Barkerville in the Cariboo region of British Columbia.

The conflict was fought mainly over the mining rights for Grouse Creek, a small stream about 5 kilometers south of Barkerville, where a large amount of gold was discovered in it around 1861.

Later that year, the Heron Company obtained a franchise and began operations on building a hundred-foot-long flume to collect materials from the creek bed more easily.

They proceeded to force the Heron Company workers out of the area, then began to collect and sell the gold that the flume brought in for their own financial gain.

Eventually, after some legal quarrels between the two factions, the dispute was settled by the province governor, and the land and gold was returned to the Heron Company.
