The Battle at Port-la-Joye (also known as the Port-la-Joye Massacre) was a battle in King George's War that took place with British against Canadien and Mi'kmaq forces on the banks of present-day Hillsborough River, Prince Edward Island in the summer of 1746. French officer de Ramezay sent French and Mi'kmaq forces to Port-la-Joye where they surprised and defeated a company of 200 Massachusetts militia in two British naval vessels that were gathering provisions for recently captured Louisbourg.
