The Battle of Murafa or the Battle of Kopystrzyń was a battle that consisted of two clashes between the Polish army and the forces of Podolian starosta Fedir Nesvizhsky who supported the Lithuanian prince Švitrigaila, during the Lithuanian civil war of 1432–1438. According to most sources, the Ruthenian army humiliated the Polish unit, which was crossing the Murafa River, in the first clash, however in the second clash the Podolians were defeated.
