The Battle of Krakovski gozd (Slovene Bitka v Krakovskem gozdu) was a battle between the Territorial Defense of the Republic Slovenia (TORS) and the Yugoslav National Army (JLA)that took place in Krakovski gozd on 1 July 1991 during the Ten-Day War.

The battle was directly connected with the previous Battle of Medvedjek, because in both battles , the same JLA unit was involved - Self-propelled mechanized detachment of air defense. This was the final battle of this unit, which came to Slovenia from Croatia on 27 June 1991 and was involved in 3 battles (Poganci, Medvedjek and Krakovski gozd).
