The Battle of Jajce (Croatian: Bitka kod Jajca) took place in January 1518 during a series of wars between the Ottoman forces of Husrev Beg, Beylerbey of the Bosnia Eyalet, and the Hungarian and Croatian forces led by Croatian Ban Petar Berislavić. The battle was a part of the Croatian–Ottoman wars and Ottoman–Hungarian wars. After Berislavić's tactical breakthrough to (although unsuccessfully) besiege adjacent Ottoman forts, Jajce remained in Christian hands.
