The Battle of Tacuarembó took place between the Luso-Brazilian forces under the command of José de Castelo Branco Correia, Count of Figueira, and the Artiguist forces of Andrés Latorre in Tacuarembó, modern-day Uruguay.

The encounter resulted in a catastrophe for the Artiguist army.

Due to the complete annihilation of Latorre's forces, the battle was a severe blow to the independentist cause and determined the victory of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves in the war.
