The Battle of Sabana Larga (Spanish: Batalla de Sabana Larga) was a major battle during the years after the Dominican War of Independence. It was fought on 24 January 1856 in Sabana Larga, Dajabón. A force of 8,000 Dominican troops of the Army of the North, led by General Juan Luis Franco Bidó, defeated a numerically larger force of 22,000 Haitian troops under Emperor Faustin I. Another part of the Haitian Army was entrenched in Jácuba near Puerto Plata, but were defeated by Pedro Florentino and General Lucas de Peña.
