The War Cleric (Japanese: バトルシスター Battle Sister) is an advanced class debuting in Fire Emblem Awakening. It is one of the class change options available to both Clerics and Troubadours, and is the female version of the otherwise identical War Monk. It gains the use of axes alongside staves.

The class appears in Three Houses as downloadable content, as part of the Cindered Shadows side story. It becomes available in the main story after completing the first chapter of this side story. In this game, the class wields magic due to the absence of staves, and specializes in brawling in addition to axes, gaining access to the Fistfaire skill to facilitate this. It is one of only three classes available to the player in Three Houses to have access to both brawling and magic, along with War Monk and Enlightened One. However, War Clerics have only half of the normal amount of uses of their spells.
