The Battle of Blue Waters (Lithuanian: Mūšis prie Mėlynųjų Vandenų; Belarusian: Бітва на Сініх Водах; Ukrainian: Битва на Синіх Водах) was fought at some time in the autumn of 1362 or 1363 on the banks of the Syniukha River, a left tributary of the Southern Bug, between the armies of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Golden Horde. The Lithuanians won a decisive victory and finalized their conquest of the Principality of Kiev.
