The Battle of Pickett's Mill was fought on May 27, 1864 in Paulding County, Georgia during the American Civil War between Union and Confederate forces. Union General William Tecumseh Sherman attempted an attack on the right flank of Confederate Joseph E. Johnston.

The attack was easily repelled because Confederate forces were prepared for the attack, and supporting Union forces never participated.
