The Battle of Sopachuy was an armed confrontation that occurred on 12 June 1817 in the village of Sopachuy, some 120 kilometers southeast from the city of Chuquisaca (today Sucre), between a division of the Army of the North of the United Provinces of the Río de la Plata, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel Gregorio Aráoz de Lamadrid and a Spanish Royalist force commanded by Colonel José Santos de la Hera. The Royalists routed the Patriot force, who was forced to retreat in disarray.
