Etana's war with the foreign countries, also known as the Kishi conflict outside of Sumer, was a conflict between the Kingdom of Kish under the reign of Etana, and unknown foreign states outside of Sumer. Nothing is known about this conflict other than the brief mention of it in the Sumerian king list, where Etana's rule is described as "the shepherd, who ascended to heaven and consolidated all the foreign countries". Nothing else is known about the conflict, including the outcome or who the aggressor was.
