The Battle of Borst, also called the Engagement at Borst (Swedish: Träffningen vid Borst) was the engagement between Swedish cavalry and Scanian Snapphanar on 25 March, 1644, during Horn's War in the Torstenson War. The battle ended in a massacre of the Snapphanar who were not equipped to deal with the cavalry.
