"Battle of Busaco" is a historical print created by the British artist William Heath (1794–1840), who was known for his military scenes and caricatures. The artwork depicts the Battle of Buçaco (also spelled as Bussaco), a significant engagement fought during the Peninsular War on September 27, 1810, between the Anglo-Portuguese army under the command of General Wellington and the French army led by Marshal André Masséna.

The print is a detailed representation of the battle, showcasing the rugged terrain of the Buçaco mountain ridge in Portugal and the fierce combat between the opposing forces. Heath's work captures the intensity of the battle and the disciplined formations of the British and Portuguese troops as they repelled the French assault. The Battle of Buçaco was a victory for Wellington's forces and played a crucial role in the defense of Portugal during the Peninsular War.

William Heath was a prominent artist of his time, and his military prints were widely circulated, contributing to the public's perception of the Napoleonic Wars. His work is characterized by attention to detail and an effort to convey the drama and heroism of battle. "Battle of Busaco" is an example of Heath's skill in illustrating military subjects and serves as a valuable historical record of the events it portrays.

The print is of interest not only to art historians but also to those studying the history of the Peninsular War and the broader Napoleonic conflicts. It provides insight into the visual culture of the early 19th century and the ways in which military achievements were commemorated and mythologized through art. As a piece of historical documentation, "Battle of Busaco" by William Heath remains an important work for understanding the artistic and cultural responses to the warfare of the era.
