Pertempuran Szentgotthárd (bahasa Inggris: Saint Gotthard; bahasa Turki: Saint Gotthard Muharebesi; bahasa Jerman: Schlacht bei Mogersdorf dan Schlacht bei St. Gotthard; bahasa Prancis: Bataille de Saint-Gothard) adalah sebuah pertempuran yang berlangsung pada tanggal 1 Agustus 1664 selama Perang Austria-Turki (1663-1664). Perang ini berlangsung antara pasukan Habsburg (yang dipimpin oleh Raimondo Montecuccoli, Jean de Coligny-Saligny, Wolfgang Julius, Graf Hohenlohe-Neuenstein, Pangeran Leopold dari Baden, dan Georg Friedrich dari Waldeck) melawan Kesultanan Utsmaniyah yang berada di bawah komando Köprülü Fazıl Ahmed Paşa.

Pertempuran ini terletak di dekat Szentgotthárd dan Mogersdorf di Hungaria Barat, di dekat perbatasan Austria dengan Hungaria saat ini. Utsmaniyah mengalami kekalahan besar dalam pertempuran ini dan banyak sekali pasukan Utsmaniyah yang gugur, tetapi mereka berhasil menegosiasikan Perdamaian Vasvár yang menguntungkan Utsmaniyah.[5]

[...] Though 30,000 of his troops remained unengaged, the grand visier sensed the battle going against him and decided to retreat, leaving the Christians in possession of the field. Two thousand, mainly Germans, had been lost, along with similar number of fugitives. Turkish losses are not known, but were probably less."
