The '''Battle of Sablat''' or '''Záblatí''' occurred on 10 June 1619, during the [[Bohemia]]n period of the [[Thirty Years' War]]. The battle was fought between a Roman Catholic [[Imperial Army of the Holy Roman Emperor|Imperial army]] led by [[Charles Bonaventure de Longueval, Count of Bucquoy]] and the Protestant army of [[Ernst von Mansfeld]].

When Mansfeld was on his way to reinforce general Hohenlohe, who was besieging [[České Budějovice]], Bucquoy intercepted Mansfeld near the small village of Záblatí ({{langx|de|Sablat}}), about {{convert|25|km|mi|abbr=on}} km northwest of [[České Budějovice]], and brought him to battle. Mansfeld suffered defeat, losing at least 1,500 infantry and his baggage train. As a result, the Bohemians had to lift the siege of České Budějovice.
