The Battle of Beaumont on August 30, 1870 was a defeat for the French during the Franco-Prussian War.

It was fought between Fifth French Corps d'Armee under General Pierre Louis Charles de Failly, and the Fourth and Twelfth German Army Corps (mostly non-Prussians such as the III battalion, 96th Thüringers) under King George of Saxony. The French were surprised in their cantonments and driven back upon Monzon, with losses of 4,800 men and 42 guns to the Germans' 3,500.
