The Battle of Finta (May 1653) was a confrontation between Matei Basarab's Wallachian army and a combined Moldo-Cossack force under Vasile Lupu and Tymofiy Khmelnytsky. It took place around Finta, a commune in Dâmboviţa county.

The battle was a Wallachian decisive victory, resulting in the ousting of the Moldavian Prince, his replacement with Gheorghe Ştefan, the brief Wallachian occupation of Iaşi, and the siege of Suceava (where Tymofiy was killed).
