The Battle of Camacuã was fought in April 1827 by troops of the United Provinces and of the Empire of Brazil during the Cisplatine War. After their victory in the Battle of Ituzaingó, the Argentine army had left Brazil due to the lack of supplies and a bad state of their horses, but by April 13 had returned, retaken Bagé and marched towards the Brazilian army, which it made withdraw after this brief engagement.
