The Battle at Port-la-Joye (also known as the Port-la-Joye Massacre) was a battle in King George's War that took place between the British Army and a combined force of French troops and Mi'kmaq militia on the banks of present-day Hillsborough River, Prince Edward Island in the summer of 1746. French officer Jean-Baptiste Nicolas Roch de Ramezay sent French and Mi'kmaq forces to Port-la-Joye where they surprised and defeated a force of 200 soldiers of the 29th Regiment of Foot that were gathering provisions for recently captured fortress of Louisbourg.
