Years: 1391 - 1391

The Battle of the Kondurcha River is the first major battle of the Tokhtamysh–Timur war.

It takes place at the Kondurcha River, in the Bulgar Ulus of the Golden Horde, in what today is Samara Oblast in Russia.

However, many of the Golden Horde troops escape to fight again at Terek.
