War Drobe was thought by Mr. Tumnus in C.S. Lewis' novel The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe to be a city in the the country of "Spare oom" Lucy Pevensie "home country". In reality it is the wardrobe of professor Digory Kirke, containing the portal to Narnia for the Pevensie children.

Paul F. Ford calls it a clever way for Lewis to show how words are really symbols. In another instance, the animals in The Magician's Nephew mishear Aslan's statement that an evil has entered Narnia, thinking that he said "A Neevil".
