The Battle of Zitlala took place during the War of Mexican Independence on 26 October 1812 in the area around Escamela, Ixtaczoquitlán, Veracruz.

The Spanish troops were made up of peninsulares and loyalists from Nueva Espana.

The battle served as a precursor in the broader goal of the Capture of Orizaba later in 1812.

The battle resulted in a Mexican rebel victory and an exit of royalist forces from Ixtaczoquitlán.
