The battle of Vinnytsia or siege of Vinnytsia was an armed clash that took place on 11–20 March 1651, during the Khmelnytsky Uprising.
The number of Cossack troops is somewhat controversial, as some sources give the number as 3,000 soldiers, however, according to Polish historian Sławomir Leśniewski, it was much more than the Crown Army itself, over 20,000 soldiers.
