The Battle of Hallue was a battle of the Franco-Prussian War on December 23 and 24, 1870.

The battle was fought between 40,000 French irregulars under General Louis Faidherbe and 22,500 Prussian troops under Edwin Freiherr von Manteuffel. The French lost heavily in the village lying in front of their position. However, the Prussians were unable to carry the entrenchments on the heights. After the attack was repulsed, the French assumed the offensive, but with no decisive result. One-thousand French soldiers were killed, and 1,300 were imprisoned. About 927 German troops were killed and wounded.
