The Battle of Dubravnica was fought in 1381, on Dubravnica River near Paracin in today's southeastern Serbia, between the Serbian forces of nobles Vitomir and Crep Vukoslavic , subjects of prince Lazar of Serbia and the invading Ottoman Turks of sultan Murad I.

The Serbian army emerged victorious, temporarily slowing down the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans. After that there is no record of any hostility between Lazar and the Turks until 1386.

Battle was the first mention of any Ottoman movement into Lazar's territory.
