The second battle of Rellano was an engagement of the Mexican Revolution between Rebel forces under Pascual Orozco and Government troops under General Victoriano Huerta. This was a set back for Orozco who had, several months before, defeated another Government army at the first battle of Rellano in March of the same year.
