Kampanye militer Kepulauan Solomon adalah sebuah kampanye militer utama dari Perang Pasifik pada Perang Dunia II. Kampanye tersebut dimulai dengan pendaratan Jepang dan pendudukan beberapa wilayah di Kepulauan Solomon Britania dan Bougainville, di Teritorial Nugini, pada enam bulan pertama 1942. Jepang menduduki wilayah-wilayah tersebut dan mulai membangun beberapa pangkalan angkatan laut dan udara dengan tujuan melindungi serangan Jepang di Nugini, mendirikan sebuah barrier keamanan untuk pangkalan Jepang utama di Rabaul, Britania Baru, dan menyediakan pangkalan untuk jalur suplai antara kekuatan Sekutu Amerika Serikat, Australia dan Selandia Baru.
