The Battle of Marj Dābiq (meaning "the meadow of Dābiq") is a decisive military clash in Middle Eastern history, fought on August 24, 1516, near the town of Dabiq, forty-four kilometers north of Aleppo, Syria.
The battle is part of the Ottoman–Mamluk War (1516–17) between the Ottoman Empire and the Mamluk Sultanate, which ends ultimately in an Ottoman victory, the conquest of most of the Middle East by the Ottoman Empire, and the end of the Mamluk Sultanate.
The Ottoman Empire's victory in this battle gives it control of the entire region of Syria.
