The Battle of San Lorenzo (San Lorenzo is a city located in the province of Santa Fe, Argentina) was a military engagement of the Argentine War of Independence, between Royalists (Spanish: realistas, loyal to the Spanish Crown), led by General José Zavala, and the rebel forces of the Granaderos a Caballo (Mounted Grenadiers), the cavalry élite unit led by General José de San Martín. This was also the first combat action for San Martin's unit (1813)
