The Battle of Kircholm (Lithuanian: Salaspilio mūšis; Polish: Bitwa pod Kircholmem; Swedish: Slaget vid Kirkholm; 27 September [O.S. 17 September] 1605) was one of the major battles in the Polish–Swedish War of 1600–1611. The battle was decided in 20 minutes by a devastating charge of Polish-Lithuanian cavalry, including the Winged Hussars.[7] The battle ended in a decisive victory of the Polish-Lithuanian forces, and is remembered as one of the greatest triumphs of Commonwealth cavalry.

Armia szwedzka straciła w bitwie ponad 8000 ludzi, a więc ponad 70% całego składu osobowego. Ponadto wielu żołnierzy zginęło podczas ucieczki, część utonęła w Dźwinie. Na statki załadowało się zaledwie kilkuset jeźdźców, piechoty zginęło około 90%.
