The Battle of Fort Ligonier was a 1758 battle of the French and Indian War.

After British forces failed to capture Fort Duquesne, the French attacked Fort Ligonier, still under construction. A four hour long assault resulted in a French defeat. The French forces attempted to attack again at nightfall, but were driven out by mortar fire from the fort and retreated.

Fort Ligonier was never taken during the war.
