Pertempuran Sahagún (21 Desember 1808) merupakan sebuah konflik kavaleri yang berlangsung di Sahagún, Spanyol, di mana 15th Light Dragoons (Hussars) Britania mengalahkan dua resimen kavaleri Prancis selama Kampanye Corunna di Perang Kemerdekaan Spanyol.^[3] Kerugian salah satu resimen Prancis begitu besar sehingga kemudian dibubarkan. Tindakan ini menandai fase terakhir dari kemajuan pasukan Inggris ke pedalaman Spanyol, sebelum mereka mulai mundur ke pantai dan melakukan evakuasi akhir melalui laut.
