The Battle of the Timberlands is an annual college football rivalry game between the Arkansas–Monticello Boll Weevils of the University of Arkansas at Monticello and the Southern Arkansas Muleriders of the Southern Arkansas University. The game became known as the "Battle of the Timberlands" in 2012 when a traveling trophy for the contest was created (both schools are located in southern Arkansas, which has a large forest products industry).

The rivalry between the two schools dates back to 1913. Both schools are currently members of the Great American Conference. Through the 99 games played, Southern Arkansas leads the series 61–37–1.{{efn-ua|name=UAM}}
