Battle of Starokostiantyniv (Ukrainian: Старокостянтинів, Polish language: Starokonstantynów
) (July 26-July 28, 1648) was a battle of the Khmelnytsky Uprising. Near the site of the present-day town of Starokostiantyniv in Ukraine, a numerically superior force of Cossacks under the command of Maksym Kryvonis forced the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces under the command of Jeremi Wiśniowiecki to retreat from Starokostiantyniv.
