Forces of Ottoman Egypt and the Ottoman Empire fought on 24 June 1839 at a site in present-day Nizip, south-central modern Turkey, after the Egyptian army crossed the Karzin river on 22 June.

The battle took place on 24 June 1839 between the forces of the quasi-autonomous province of Ottoman Egypt and those of the Ottoman Empire. The site is identified as present-day Nizip in south-central modern Turkey. On 22 June 1839 the Egyptian army had executed a difficult and risky maneuver, taking up position on the left bank of the Karzin river. The supplied passages do not state the outcome of the battle, so the legacy claim that Turkish troops were defeated is not confirmed here.
