The Battle of Dubravnica was fought in 1381, on Dubravnica River near Paracin in today's southeastern Serbia, between the Serbian forces of nobles Vitomir and Crep Vukoslavic, subjects of prince Lazar of Serbia and the invading Ottoman Turks of sultan Murad I. Battle was the first historical mention of any Ottoman movements into Prince Lazar's territory. After this battle there is no record of any other hostility between Lazar and the Turks until 1386. The Serbian army emerged victorious, although details of the battle itself are sketchy at best. This victory by the Serbians temporarily slowed the Ottoman invasion of the Balkans.
