Slaget ved Braga fandt sted den 20. marts 1809 mellem det Franske Imperium og Kongeriget Portugal under den Spanske Uafhængighedskrig.
Briterne opnåede en taktisk sejr over franskmændene i slaget ved A Coruña, men den britiske flåde evakuerede hurtigt hæren fra Spanien. Da briterne var væk, planlagde marskal Nicolas Jean-de-Dieu Soult en invasion af Portugal. Via Ourense invaderede franskmændene landet og var de første til at indtage byen Chaves. Den franske hær ventede nogle dage, før de marcherede videre til Braga. I mellemtiden myrdede de mytterende portugisere deres general Bernardim Freire de Andrade, hvorefter Baron von Eben overtog kommandoen. Soult lykkedes det uden for meget besvær at overvinde den portugisiske hær ved Braga. Soult marcherede videre til Porto, hvor det næste slag fandt sted.
