The battle of Andros took place on 22 August 1696 southeast of the Ottoman island of Andros between the fleets of the Republic of Venice and the Papal States under Bartolomeo Contarini[1] on the one side, and the Ottoman Navy under Mezzo Morto Hüseyin Pasha as well as Barbary vassals on the other. The encounter was indecisive, and no vessels were lost on either side.
