The Battle of Białołęka was fought from February 24 to February 25, 1831 , between Poland and Russia.

The Russians were led by Ivan Shakhovskiy. A Polish counter-attack forced the Russian force to retreat.

This forced Field-marshal Hans Karl von Diebitsch to launch an attack one day earlier than he had planned.
