The Loyal American Regiment was a Loyalist line infantry regiment raised in 1777 to serve alongside the British Army during the American Revolutionary War. Organizationally part of the Provincial Corps, the regiment fought in several engagements throughout the war before being disbanded in 1783 upon the conflict's conclusion. Surviving veterans of the regiment were among the thousands of United Empire Loyalists who were resettled in Nova Scotia by British authorities.
