Battle of Miandoab (Kurdish: شەڕی میاندواو, romanized: Şeřî Miyandiwaw) was a military engagement that took place in 1921 near the city of Miandoab, in the West Azerbaijan province of Iran. It was part of the broader uprising led by Simko Shikak, a Kurdish nationalist and tribal leader who sought to assert autonomy in northwestern Iran during the weakening of central authority in the aftermath of World War I.

The battle resulted in a Kurdish victory, with Simko's forces successfully repelling Iranian government troops and taking control of the area.
