Battle of Mice was an American post-metal supergroup consisting of Julie Christmas, Josh Graham, Joel Hamilton, Tony Maimone, and Joe Tomino. The band's name was derived from a saying by Alexander the Great pertaining to a military invasion of Crete.

The band was formed when vocalist Julie Christmas and guitarist/keyboardist Josh Graham met in Austin, Texas while touring with their respective bands in 2005.

Graham and Christmas were in an on-again-off-again relationship during the recording of the band's debut album, A Day of Nights. Released under Neurot Recordings, the album contains seven tracks heavily influenced by the metal, post-rock and noise rock roots from which the group was derived. The song "At the Base of the Giant's Throat" features a recorded 911 call between vocal sections.

In March 2008, Josh Graham revealed an interview that Battle of Mice was currently "on an indefinite hiatus". He also said that the band recorded two songs, about nine months after A Day of Nights was finished, for a split EP with Jesu on the Robotic Empire label.{{Cite web |date=2008-03-28 |title=an interview with Josh Graham (Neurosis, A Storm of Light) |url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/an-interview-wi-24/}} The EP was released on August 4, 2008.
