The Battle of Kishegyes (modern-day Mali Iđoš, Vojvodina, Serbia) was a military engagement during the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. Fought from 11–15 July 1849, the battle pitted the Hungarian Revolutionary Army, commanded by Generals Antal Vetter and Richard Guyon, against the Imperial Habsburg Corps led by Lieutenant Field Marshal Josip Jelačić, Ban of Croatia, whose forces included allied Croatian and Serbian units.

The conflict began when Jelačić, attempting a surprise night attack on Hungarian positions, inadvertently encountered their defensive lines. Hungarian forces swiftly counterattacked, routing Jelačić’s army and compelling its retreat to the Serbian-fortified Titel Plateau.

The Hungarian victory reversed territorial losses in Bácska incurred after the Battle of Káty (modern-day Kati, Serbia) and reestablished Hungarian control over key areas. It also revitalized the Hungarian army’s strategic initiative on the Southern Front, marking a turning point in the latter stages of the revolution.
