The Russo–Turkish War of 1787–1792 involves an unsuccessful attempt by the Ottoman Empire to regain lands lost to Russian Empire in the course of the previous Russo-Turkish War (1768–74).

It takes place concomitantly with the Austro-Turkish War of 1787–91.

Russian general Aleksandr Vasilyevich Suvorov repels a Turkish effort to seize the Crimea, winning a victory over the Turks at Kinburn in October 1787 while the veteran general Count Pyotr Rumyantsev invades Moldavia, but a stalemate grips forces on all fronts.
