The Battle of Custoza (1848) was fought (23-25 July 1848) during the Austro-Sardinian War (also known as First Independence War within the Italian unification process) between the armies of the Austrian Empire, led by Field Marshal Radetzky, and of the Kingdom of Sardinia, led by king Charles Albert of Savoy.

The battle was fought next to Custoza (Verona, northern Italy) for the control of Venetian plains. The defeat of the Sardinian army caused the retreat of the Italians back to their Piedmont bases, and, with the defeat in Novara, led to the end of the war.
