The Battle of Lanckorona was one of the greatest clashes of Polish and Russian forces during the Bar Confederation. It took place 23 May 1771 near Lanckorona when a Polish formation of 1,300 men with 18 cannons under French envoy lieutenant-colonel Charles François Dumouriez was suddenly attacked by 4,000 Russians commanded by general Alexander Suvorov.

Polish forces were completely smashed and compelled to retreat.
