The Battle of Karanovac was a series of skirmishes between the Ottoman mutesellim (mayor) of Čačak, Latif Agha, with support from the Sanjak of Novi Pazar, against the Serbian rebel army led by Miloš Obrenović in the area of Karanovac (now Kraljevo). Encircled, the Ottoman troops and local Muslims handed over the town to the Serbian rebels after the rebel takeover of Čačak and Požarevac.
