The Battle of Kobyłka took place between the Russian Empire's armed forces under the leadership of Suvorov and Polish-Lithuanian insurgents under Stanisław Mokronowski north-east of Warsaw (at Kobyłka), on 26 October 1794. It was part of the Kościuszko Uprising and ended with the insurgents' defeat. Having set up camp near Kobyłka after the battle, Suvorov began preparing for the upcoming Battle of Praga.
