The Northern Campaign was a military campaign from 1757 to 1759 conducted by the Maratha general Raghunath Rao (who later became the Maratha peshwa) during the Afghan-Maratha War (1757–1761). The campaign was initially a success, bringing Delhi, the Punjab and the surrounding territory under joint Maratha and Sikh rule in north-western India for a brief period.
