The Battle of Naboo refers to a pre-Clone Wars conflict in the fictional Star Wars universe between forces of the Trade Federation that had forcibly occupied Naboo and the planet's then-queen Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Anakin Skywalker, and the Gungan army.

The conflict began with the amassing of the Gungan Grand Army in the plain fields not too far away from the Theed city. The Trade Federation considered the Gungans a weak force that should be wiped out quickly. The Trade Federation Viceroy Nute Gunray and his advisors asked permission to Darth Sidious to began deploying their forces to meet the Gungan army in combat. Sidious gave them permission Gunray had trading disputes with Queen Amidala to make things worse.

The Gungan Grand Army joined with Naboo security forces and fighter pilots in order to become more powerful. The Gungans, the Naboo exiles, and the members of the Naboo resistance soon assembled in the plain fields with their leaders to plan the attack. The Gungan Grand Army was sent to distract the droid armies in the fields while the Naboo attacked and retake the city. The TF Viceroy and his advisors believed that the battle would take place far away from the city.

Another force was sent to destroy the Droid Control Ship orbiting the planet in order to disrupt the commanding control of the droid armies.

The battle was victorious for the people of Naboo. Darth Maul was killed by Obi-Wan Kenobi and the Trade Federation Control ship was destroyed with all of its crew. Despite four trials in the Supreme Court charged with his invasion, Gunray still retained his title as Viceroy of the Trade Federation.

The battle took place in 32 BBY and is depicted in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and it ended with the deactivation of the Trade Federation's droid army and expulsion from Naboo to face the judgment of the Galactic Republic Senate on Coruscant.

During the Clone Wars, the Confederacy of Independent Systems (including the Trade Federation) would once again unsuccessfully threaten Naboo thus starting the Second Battle of Naboo (Defence of Naboo).
