The Battle of Paso Cuello took place on 19 March 1817 between forces commanded by Carlos Frederico Lecor, at that time Baron of Laguna, and artiguist forces[a], that is, followers of the caudillo José Gervasio Artigas, led by Fructuoso Rivera and Miguel Barreiro at Paso Cuello, a small stream that divides the modern day Uruguayan departments of Canelones and Florida.

Lecor, that had already taken Montevideo by that time, left the city a few days earlier with his forces to attack the oriental encampment at Paso Cuello, where he believed Artigas had made his base.
