In the Battle of Alba de Tormes on 26 November 1809, an Imperial French corps commanded by Francois Etienne de Kellermann attacked a Spanish army led by Diego de Canas y Portocarrero, Duke del Parque. Finding the Spanish army in the midst of crossing the Tormes River, Kellermann did not wait for his infantry under Jean Gabriel Marchand to arrive, but led the French cavalry in a series of charges that routed the Spanish units on the near bank with heavy losses.

The action occurred during the Peninsular War, part of the Napoleonic Wars.
