The following Union army units were involved in the Battle of Lynchburg on June 17–18, 1864, near Lynchburg, Virginia, in the American Civil War. The Confederate units are shown separately. The Union force, commanded by Major General David Hunter, consisted of two infantry divisions and two infantry divisions—plus artillery. Hunter's army was repelled by Confederate forces that arrived in Lynchburg right before the battle. Confederate cavalry units delayed the Union approach to Lynchburg, enabling Confederate infantry forces to arrive in Lynchburg in time to defend the city.
