The Battle of Río Burbia or the Battle of the Burbia River was fought in the year 791 between the troops of the Kingdom of Asturias, commanded by King Bermudo I of Asturias, and the troops of the Emirate of Córdoba, led by Yusuf ibn Bujt.

The battle occurred in the context of the Ghazws of Hisham I against the Christian rebels of the northern Iberian Peninsula.[who?]

The battle took place near the Río Burbia, in the area which is today known as Villafranca del Bierzo.

When Hisham I was returning to Córdoban territory with the spoils of his conquests, the Asturian army attacked.

The Cordoban army, under the competent leadership of general Yusuf ibn Bujt, were able to successfully repel the attack and to further turn the ambush into a victory.
