The Battle of Kandia (21 July - 8 August 1824) was the last battle of the Sikh and Aurucolian War, which was fought between the Lucian Colonial forces under General Johannes Vandemeer against the Aurucolian forces under Marshal Flórián Székely de Kisbátor.

Prior to the battle, Kisbátor managed to push Vandemeer's forces back at the Battle of Athbar, which prevented Vandemeer to take Kandia at his intended month of early July. However, a combined force of Lucians and Nibelheimians under the command of General David Auchinleck succeeded in preventing General Dobos from reinforcing Kisbátor's army and forced them to retreat into Kandia. Meanwhile, the Chiyoda Company Regiment carried out raids to pressure the Aurucolians to retreat to Kandia by destroying supply points and delaying reinforcements. By 19 July, Kisbátor was left with no choice but to retreat and make a final stand. In 6 August, the Royal Navy engaged and defeated with what remained of the Imperial Aurucolian Navy still in Indiae at the Battle of the Kandia Sea, which were trying to evacuate as many occupants as possible. With the Aurucolian Navy defeated, Kisbátor surrendered to Vandemeer at the night of 8 August 1824.

The battle became a significant moment in history, with the Lucis Empire assuming total control over Indiae. Kisbátor would not return to Aurucolia until Sandor I's exile.
