The Battle of White Oak Swamp took place on June 30, 1862 in Henrico County, Virginia as part of the Seven Days Battles (Peninsula Campaign) of the American Civil War.

As the Union Army of the Potomac retreated southwest toward the James River, its rearguard under Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin stopped Stonewall Jackson's divisions at the White Oak Bridge crossing, resulting in an artillery duel, while the main Battle of Glendale raged two miles farther south around Frayser's Farm. White Oak Swamp is generally considered to be part of the Glendale engagement. Because of this resistance from Franklin's VI Corps, Jackson was prevented from joining the consolidated assault on the Union Army that had been ordered by General Robert E. Lee.
