The Battle of Margate (), also known as the Battle of Cadzand (not to be confused with the 1337 Battle of Cadzand), was a naval battle that took place on 24–25 March 1387, during the Caroline War phase of the Hundred Years' War, between an English fleet and a Franco-Castilian-Flemish wine fleet. The battle ended in an English victory: many ships were captured, and a vast haul of booty was acquired, including 8,000–9,000 tuns of wine.
