The First Battle of Franklin, though technically not a battle, was fought April 10, 1863, in Williamson County, Tennessee, during the American Civil War. It was a minor engagement in about the same location as that of the more famous Battle of Franklin (November 30, 1864), which was part of the Franklin-Nashville Campaign.
