The Battle of Mount Harriet was a military engagement of the Falklands War, which took place on the night of 11/12 June 1982 between British and Argentine forces. It was one of three battles in a Brigade-size operation all on the same night, the other two being the Battle of Mount Longdon and the Battle of Two Sisters.
One of a number of night battles that took place during the British advance towards Stanley, the battle led to British troops capturing all the heights above the town, forcing the surrender of Argentine forces on the islands.
