The Battle of Coplé was a battle in Venezuela, which occurred on 17 February 1860, during the Federal War between the Federalist forces under General Juan Crisóstomo Falcón, and the troops from Conservative government under command of General León de Febres Cordero, with a victory for the latter.

The Federalists, after a victorious first campaign, concluded with a victory in the Battle of Santa Inés on 10 December 1859, lost their best military leader Ezequiel Zamora, killed by a sniper during the siege of the town of San Carlos.

Juan Crisóstomo Falcón, militarily less talented than his predecessor, took over as head of the Federalist army.

Falcón advanced towards Valencia, but so slowly that it gave the Government the opportunity to organize a new army.
