Fort Sumter
The first naval battle of the Civil War happened on April 13, 1861. This naval battle took place at Fort Sumter.
The official start of the Civil War would be the Confederate bombardment of the Union Fort Sumter, which would later be known as the Battle of Fort Sumter. It took place from April 12 to 14, 1861. In response, President Lincoln called for 75, 000 volunteers to suppress the rebellion and 4 other states ceded to the CSA, starting the war.
At the immediate beginning of the Civil War in April of 1861, Southern troops occupied Charleston Harbor's Fort Sumter, which had been bombarded into submission. Soon after, more states seceded from the Union, troops were raised and trained by both sides, skirmishes took place between small contingents of civilians and troops, and then, on July 21st of 1861, the war's first large-scale battle took place, the First Battle of Bull Run (or, First Manassas).
If you mean which American Civil War battle then it was the Battle of Gettysburg which took place July 1st - July 3rd of 1863.
