The Battle of Kejiwan took place on 9 August 1826 during the Java War between rebel forces under Prince Diponegoro and a flying column of Dutch colonial and Mangkunegaran troops. The flying column, which had been pursuing Diponegoro during his march north, was defeated in a pitched battle, allowing Diponegoro to continue his march.
