The Battle of Gdow (Polish: Bitwa pod Gdowem) took place on February 26, 1846, near Gdów, in the Free City of Kraków. It was the only significant battle of the Kraków Uprising. A rebel unit of 380 men, commanded by Jakub Suchorzewski, was defeated by a 480-strong Austrian Army detachment led by Ludwig von Benedek. The Austrians were supported by approximately 500 local peasants (see Galician slaughter). Rebel losses were estimated at 154 killed, while Austrian losses were minimal.
