The action of August 1702 was an inconclusive naval battle of the War of the Spanish Succession fought between 19 and 25 August 1702 O.S.. An English squadron under Vice-admiral John Benbow engaged in a running battle with a smaller French squadron under Admiral Jean-Baptiste du Casse off Santa Marta, but insubordination from Benbow's captains prevented him from inflicting significant damage on du Casse's squadron, which escaped almost fully intact.
