The Battle of Alessandria or Battle of Castelazzo was a battle during the Florentine-Milanese Wars which was fought at Alessandria, Piedmont, Italy on 25 July 1391 between the mercenary army of Gian Galeazzo Visconti of Milan and that of the Jean III of Armagnac. It ended in victory for Milan.
Gian Galeazzo Visconti of Milan, later the Duke of Milan, had ambitions to control the whole of northern Italy but the city of Florence stood up against him and formed a defensive League which included Francis Novello da Carrara, Stephen III of Bavaria and Jean III of Armagnac. In March, 1390 they hired the English mercenary, John Hawkwood and his private army to defend the town and requested help from Jean III.
