The Battle of Napue, the Battle of Isokyrö (Storkyro), or the Battle of Lappola was fought on 2 March [O.S. 19 February] 1714 at the villages of Napue and Laurola, located in the Isokyrö parish of the Swedish Empire (modern-day Finland). The battle took place between the Swedish Empire and the Tsardom of Russia and was the final land battle of the Finnish campaign in the Great Northern War.

The Swedish detachment, consisting almost entirely of Finnish troops, was defeated by the numerically superior Russian forces. As a result, all of Finland fell under Russian military occupation for the remainder of the war—a seven-year period of hardship known in Finland as the Great Wrath.

The Medal "For the Battle of Vasa" was created in 1714, which was awarded to the Russian participants in the battle. Named after the nearby town of Vaasa (Vasa).
