Jayakarta War (Indonesian: Perang Jayakarta; Dutch: Jayakarta-oorlog) was a military conflict occurred in Jayakarta between the Jayakartan forces and English traders company against the Dutch East India Company from the year of 1618 to 1619. The war resulted of Dutch significant losses by the Anglo–Jayakartan forces. Many of the Dutch lodges and fort was captured by the Anglo–Jayakartan forces with the help of Bantenese forces of Ranamanggala's orders, but within the consequences of the war with the East India Company, the Dutch ensued to retreat from Banten following from the VOC suppression. This will eventually led to Dutch incidents on the island of Run. The Dutch began to prepare the second attempt on conquering Jayakarta after the war—on May 1619.
