The Prussian Regiment (French: Régiment de Prusse) was a foreign regiment of the French Imperial Army formed in late 1806 and made up by Prussian prisoners of war. Though it only served for a short time, the regiment saw service in the Peninsular War, but was disbanded in 1813 following the 1813 reorganisation of the foreign regiments.
