The Battle of Rogoźniczka was fought on 26 June 1655 when King Jan II Casimir Vasa of Poland-Lithuania smashed the Swedish general Lennart Torstensson's army west of the besieged fortress of Brest.

On the same day as the Battle of Biała Podlaska, King Jan Casimir marched his army farther west to battle another Swedish relief army bound for Brest, this time commanded by Lennart Torstensson. In the ensuing battle, the Polish cavalry easily rode down and massacred the Swedish musketeers while also besting the Swedish dragoons. The Swedish pikemen killed several Polish cavalry, but they were eventually overpowered as well, and the Poles lost 9 dead to the Swedes' 111.
