The Battle of Podol was a minor engagement in the opening days of the Königgrätz campaign of the Austro-Prussian War in Bohemia on 26 and 27 June 1866.

The battle took place in modern-day Svijany between troops of the Prussian First Army (Julius von Bose's 15th Brigade) and elements of Eduard Clam-Gallas' Austrian I Corps.

Generalmajor Julius von Bose, the commander of the 8th Division's 15th Brigade, was nearby at Preper and heard the gunfire from Podol.

An Austrian close order column was engaged by one of Bose's battalions and driven back by the superior firepower of the Prussian Dreyse needle gun.

With more Prussian forces arriving at the scene, Bose and Colonel Drygalski personally led an attack to retake the bridges.
