The Battle of Letenye was a battle in the Hungarian War of Independence of 1848-1849, fought on 17 October 1848 between the Hungarian Revolutionary Army under the command of General [[Mór Perczel] and the Croatian troops under Colonel Lazar Mamula defending the Muraköz/Međimurje region. Perczel, the leader of the Hungarian brigade which attacked Muraköz, split his troops in two, and his detachment defeated the Croatian troops defending the line of the Mura River. As a result of his victory, together with the victory of the leader of the other column, Major András Gáspár in the Battle of Kotor, Perczel liberated Muraköz from the Croatian troops.
