The Rutland Yeomanry Cavalry was a yeomanry regiment of the British Army, first raised as the Rutland Fencible Cavalry in Rutland in 1794 and finally disbanded in 1825. The regiment was raised following a meeting on 31 March 1794, at Oakham Castle, where it was resolved to form three troops of fencible Light Dragoons; it was the first regiment to be accepted by the Crown as complete. In 1803 it was absorbed into the Rutland Legion, a mixed force of volunteer cavalry and infantry. When the Legion was disbanded in 1825, the Leicestershire Yeomanry began to recruit from Rutland, and no subsequent yeomanry regiment was raised.
