Is éard is coup d'état ann ná buille tobann i gcoinne an stáit, de ghnáth ag grúpa beag de bhunaíocht an stáit cheana féin, mar shampla an lucht míleata.
Bíonn sé mar aidhm acu an rialtas reatha a theistiú nó a chur ar cheal, agus rialú eile a a chur ina n-ionad, sibhialta nó míleata.
Nuair nach n-éiríonn an coup go hiomlán, is é is dóichí ná go mbeidh cogadh cathartha mar thoradh.
