The Battle of Sellnitz was fought on 23 September 1438 between the Imperial Saxons and the Hussites.

On his journey to Saxony from Bohemia was accompanied by czech noble Jakoubek of Vřesovice, the former hussite leader (hetman) of the Union of Žatec and Louny, now hetman of the region Litoměřice and Žatec.

During their journey they clashed with the hussite army of the Union of Žatec and Louny led by several nobles strengthened by 300 Polish cavalrymen.

The Saxons won the battle; about 2,000 Hussites were killed, and again as many taken prisoner.
