The Battle of Argaon took place on 29 November 1803, between the British under the command of General Lord Arthur Wellesley (later the Duke of Wellington) and the forces of Bhonsle of Berar and Scindia of Gwalior.

After Raghoji II Bhonsle and Daulat Rao Scindia was defeated at the Battle of Laswari, they moved off 28 November 1803.

The next day, three of Wellesley's battalions, which had previously fought well, broke and fled under a cannonade by the Marathas near Shirsoli, three miles south of Adgaon, and the situation was for a time very serious for the British. Wellesley, however, succeeded in rallying them, and in the end defeated the Marathas, with the loss of all their guns and baggage.
