The Battle of Lacolle Mills was fought on 30 March 1814 during the War of 1812. The small garrison of a British outpost position, aided by reinforcements, fought off a large American attack.

Despite being outnumbered 12-1, the British pulled off the victory, due to their well-trained and high morale men defeating a non-experienced American group.
