The Battle of Ceuta (1309) was a military confrontation between the Crown of Aragon and the Nasrid kingdom of Granada in the city of Ceuta during the Castilian-Granadian War from 1309 to 1319. The Benimerin Sultanate wished to occupy the city but lacked a navy to carry out the enterprise. The Crown of Aragon, which had gone to war against Granada, set out to conquer the city for the Benimerins.
