The Battle of Seven Pines was a battle in peninsular Virginia from May 31 to June 1, 1862.

Although the Confederates were forced back toward Richmond, the battle halted the advance of the Union armies. Both sides suffered considerable casualties.

Although more-or-less a draw, the battle was highly significant because the Confederate commander, Joseph E. Johnston, was badly wounded and had to be replaced. His replacement was Robert E. Lee, who would oversee the expulsion of the Union forces after the Seven Days Battle at the end of June 1862. This forced a Union retreat to Harrisons Landing.

Deemed "too cautious" in exploiting Union victories, McClellan was replaced despite a celebrated victory against Lee at Antietam in September 1862.
