The Battle of Kroyo was an engagement of the Java War which took place on 1 October 1828 near the village of Kroyo in Purworejo, in modern Central Java. A Dutch column, pursuing a small group of Javanese rebels, encountered a much larger force than they had expected, and was destroyed in a later ambush.
