The Sasradilaga rebellion was a military campaign of the Java War conducted by Yogyakarta noble Raden Aria Sasradilaga against Dutch forces. Sasradilaga, who had previously fought alongside Dutch forces, turned to join his brother-in-law Prince Diponegoro in revolt, attacking the Dutch in the Rembang region starting in November 1827. The Dutch were caught off-guard, before managing to gather forces for a counterattack which pushed Sasradilaga into a guerilla war. Sasradilaga was defeated in February 1828 after he lost his base at Rajekwesi, and his rebellion was considered over by March.
