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

After British forces failed to capture Fort Duquesne, French and indians attacked Fort Ligonier, still under construction. The British were initially pushed back towards the fort until the main force counter-attacked and drove the French and Indians off after two hours of intense fighting.
