The Battle of Surubí (also spelt Suruby, Surubi-í, Surubi-hi, etc.) was fought in September 23 1868, during the opening stages of the Paraguayan War's Pikysyry campaign.

The allied army marched north, towards Paraguay's capital Asunción after the fall of the fortress of Humaitá a few weeks earlier. On the morning of the 23rd of September, the Brazilian vanguard under general Andrade Neves met two Paraguayan detachments at a bridge over the Surubí stream and beat them.
