The War Cross for Military Valor (Italian: Croce di Guerra al Valor Militare) is an Italian decoration for military valor. Established in 1922, the cross may only be awarded in time of war.

The medal is a Greek cross made of copper. Inscribed on the horizontal arms is Al Valor Militare (For Military Valor). On the top arm of the cross is the monogram of the Italian Republic. The bottom arm depicts a Roman sword sheathed in bay leaves. The back of the cross depicts a five-pointed star, with rays radiating from behind that star out to the arms of the cross. The cross is suspended from a solid blue ribbon.
