Combat is a purposeful violent conflict between multiple combatants with the intent to harm the opposition. Combat may be armed (using weapons) or unarmed (not using weapons). Combat is resorted to either as a method of self-defense or to impose one's will upon others. An instance of combat can be a standalone confrontation or part of a wider conflict, and its scale can range from a fight between individuals to a war between organized groups. Combat may also be benign and recreational, as in the cases of combat sports and mock combat.
Combat is purposeful violent conflict between people or groups where at least one side intends to harm the other, and it can involve weapons or no weapons at all. It matters because it appears across human activity—from personal self-defense and recreational sports to large-scale warfare—and reflects how people resolve conflicts or try to impose their will on others.

コンバット（仏・英:Combat）は、戦闘や闘争という意味の外来語であり、相手への肉体的な危害や殺傷をも意図した目的の有る暴力的衝突をいう。武装の有無は問わないため、武器を使った場合も徒手格闘もその範疇に含まれる。 自身の欲求（領土・独立・権利・金銭物品の獲得など）を他人に強要する手立てとして実力行使する場合もあれば、やむを得ず自衛手段として応酬する場合もある。その場限りでの決着もあれば、より大規模な武力衝突のごく一部に過ぎないこともある。またコンバットスポーツや模擬戦(mock combat)など、穏当で娯楽的な競技に昇華した例も存在する。
