The Battle of Kutyszcze took place on 26 September 1660, during the Polish-Russian War of 1654—1667, and was part of a campaign conducted by the Crown army under the command of Jerzy Sebastian Lubomirski and Stanisław Rewera Potocki, supported by Tatar forces. Their objective was to destroy the Russian-Cossack army under Vasyl Sheremetev and Tymofy Tzciura, before they joined forces with the troops of Yurii Khmelnytsky.
