The Battle of Damghan is fought from September 29 to October 5, 1729, near the city of Damghan.

On one side of the battle are the Afsharid Persians commanded by Nader Shah Afsharid.

On the other side are the Hotaki forces led by Ashraf Hotaki.

The Hotaki forces consist of Afghans, Tartars, Kurds, and Ghebers.

The battle is followed by another one in Murcheh-Khort, a village near Isfahan.

Nadir Shah's forces are victorious in both battles, which leads him to remove the Ghilzai Afghan dynasty from the Persian throne.

The Hotakis are forced back to their territory in what is now southern Afghanistan.
