The Battle of Tadcaster was a significant early Royalist victory in the English Civil War that secured Newcastle's control of Yorkshire and prevented Parliamentarian forces under Fairfax from establishing a strong foothold in the North.

It boosted Royalist morale and temporarily checked the Parliamentarian advance northward.
