The Tver Uprising of 1327 (Russian: Тверское восстание) was a popular uprising against the Golden Horde by the people of the Principality of Tver. Their prince, Aleksandr, eventually fled to Pskov. The Tatars dispatched a punitive force led by Ivan I of Moscow and Aleksandr of Suzdal to crush the uprising. The following year, Özbeg Khan divided the Vladimir grand principality between Ivan I of Moscow and Aleksandr of Suzdal.
