The '''Battle of Sittimungulum''' (variant spellings include '''Sattiamungulum''', '''Sathinungulum''', '''Satyamanagalam''') was a series of battles and skirmishes fought between 13 and 15 September 1790, during the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]], in and near the town now known as [[Sathyamangalam]] in the southern part of the [[Sultanate of Mysore]]. Forces of Mysore's ruler [[Tipu Sultan]] very nearly overwhelmed a [[British East India Company]] force under the command of Captain [[Sir John Floyd, 1st Baronet|John Floyd]].<br />
<br />
Tipu "descended the Gajalhatti Pass on 9th September", attacked Floyd and forcing Floyd to retreat to [[Coimbatore]] after suffering 500 casualties. However, Tipu lost Burhar-ud-din, "one of his able commanders." Tipu left this front under the command of Kamar-ud Khan, while he dealt with British attacks elsewhere.<ref name=Naravane>{{Cite book |last=Naravane |first=M.S. |title=Battles of the Honorourable East India Company |publisher=A.P.H.
