The Battle of Driskos (Greek: Μάχη του Δρίσκου, Turkish: Driskos Muharebesi), took place on 26–28 November (O.S.), 1912. It was fought between Greek forces under General Dimitrios Matthaiopoulos and Ottoman forces under General Esad Pasha during the First Balkan War. The battle began when a unit of Greek Redshirt volunteers attacked the Ottoman defensive line at Mount Driskos, Epirus.
The Greeks seized the Ottoman camp and cleared its surroundings. On 27 November, the Ottomans regrouped after receiving considerable reinforcements in both manpower and artillery, launching an assault on Greek positions. The Greeks began withdrawing at noon the following day, after realizing that they were at risk of being overwhelmed. The Battle of Driskos marked the last intervention of the Redshirts into Greek expansionist conflicts.
