The Battle of Esperance was a battle occurring at the Jernan port and military base of Esperance. The battle, of a relatively small scale, was between the Imperial Military of Großgermania and the People's Armed Forces of the Republic of Jerna, who were fighting for the military junta that assumed de facto power in that country earlier in the month.

The battle occurred on 22 April, in the year 2015 under the Jernan calendar system (2009 by the Großgermanian calendar). Coordinated with the Battle of Mount Barker, the battleplan saw an early naval disembarkment of Großgermanian tanks and infantry. A small-scale assault on the main gate of the Esperance Military Base by approximately fifty soldiers resulted in the majority of casualties on both sides. Following the reinforcement of the initial assault by armored tanks, the remaining Jernan personnel surrendered the city to Großgermanian control.
