The Battle of Kempen, also known as Battle of the Kempen Heights, or Battle of Hückelsmay, took place on 17 January 1642 during the Thirty Years' War, outside Kempen, now part of North Rhine-Westphalia. A combined Franco-Hessian army, led by de Guébriant and von Eberstein respectively, defeated an Imperial force under General de Lamboy.

The Imperial army of around 9,000 men disintegrated, with the majority either captured or killed. Defeat at Kempen ended Imperial plans for an invasion of Champagne, and temporarily secured French-Hessian control of the Lower Rhine.
