The Battle of Orihuela took place in Spain on August 30, 1873, between the forces of the Canton of Cartagena, led by Antonio Gálvez, and the government forces, led by the military governor Ruiz Piñero and Mariano Artés Campillo. The fight ended with victory for the cantonalists and resulted in Orihuela's adherence to the revolutionary cause.
