The Battle of Grand Port was fought on 20–27 August 1810 between the British and French navies over the harbour of Grand Port, then in Isle de France, as part of the Mauritius campaign of the Napoleonic Wars. A British squadron of four frigates sought to blockade Grand Port by capturing the fortified Île de la Passe at the port's entrance.
