The Battle of Tacuarembó took place between the Luso-Brazilian forces under the command of José de Castelo Branco Correia, Count of Figueira, and the Artiguist forces of Andrés Latorre in Tacuarembó, modern-day Uruguay.

The encounter resulted in a catastrophe for the Artiguist army. Indeed, out of 2,500 men, 500 were killed and 505 were captured, while the Luso-Brazilian forces only had 6 casualties (1 soldier killed and 5 wounded).

Due to the complete annihilation of Latorre's forces, the battle was a severe blow to the independentist cause and determined the victory of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and the Algarves in the war.
