The Battle of Diez (4 November 1813), also known as the Battle of Limburg was the final major battle of the 1813 Rhine Campaign. Immediately following the Allied victory at the Battle of Nauheim, both Marshal Renaud and General von Klenau prepared their respective forces for a decisive battle.

The battle was a decisive victory for the Allied forces whose lines managed to both resist collapse in the face of heavy French pressure in the centre whilst inflicting heavy losses on both the French flanks and on the Old Guard whose numbers were devastated much to the Napoleon's chagrin.
