The Battle of Werben was a battle of the Thirty Years' War, fought on 7 August 1631 (N.S.), between the Swedish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire.

Tilly's troops attacked Gustavus' entrenchments in front of Werben (Elbe), but Swedish batteries and the cavalry under Wolf Heinrich von Baudissin forced them to retreat, at the cost of 1,000 Imperials and 200 Swedes. Gustavus inflated Imperial losses to 7,000 to win German support.
