The Battle of One Tree Hill was a major engagement during the Upper Brisbane–Lockyer campaign, that took place between European settlers and a war band of the Ugarapul and other Aboriginal groups in the Darling Downs area in the Colony of New South Wales in the 1840s, as part of the Australian frontier wars. It was one in which the settlers were routed by a group of local Aboriginal men under the warrior Multuggerah, a rare event both in its form, as pitched battles between the two groups, and in its outcome.
