The Battle of Kishegyes (now Mali Iđoš, Vojvodina, Serbia) was a battle in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. It was fought between the Hungarian Revolutionary Army and the Habsburg Corps from July 11 to 15, 1849. The Hungarian Revolutionary Army was under the command of Antal Vetter and Richard Guyon, while the Hapsburg Corps was under the Ban of Croatia's Lieutenant Field Marshal, Josip Jelačić, in alliance with the Croatian and Serbian units. Jelačić, wanting to surprise the Hungarians with a night attack, accidentally ran into their positions. Soon afterwards, Hungarian troops attacked Jelačić's army, defeating it and forcing it to retreat to the Titel plateau, which was fortified by the Serbians. As a result, the Hungarian forces retook regions from Bácska, lost after the Battle of Káty, and gained territory back after the initiative on the Southern front.
