The Moldavian campaign of Dmytro Vyshnevetsky was a military expedition carried out by the Cossacks of Dmytro Vyshnevetsky jointly with the Polish forces of Albrecht Łaski as a part of an ongoing internal conflict in Moldavia. There was a 500 to 5,000-strong Cossack-Polish detachment of Dmytro Vyshnevetsky that invaded Moldavia, but was defeated by an Moldavian-Ottoman army, with Vyshnevetsky and Jan Piasecki taken captive. The expedition took place at the same time as the Moldavian noble rebellion occurred.
