The Battle of Stoney Creek was a British victory over an American force fought on 6 June 1813, during the War of 1812 near present-day Stoney Creek, Ontario. British units made a night attack on the American encampment, and due in large part to the capture of the two senior officers of the American force, and an overestimation of British strength by the Americans, the battle resulted in a total victory for the British, and a turning point in the defence of Upper Canada.

Billy Green was a resident to Stoney Creek who revealed the American countersign to the British, and guided them to their positions.
British troops during the night attack were placed under the conduct and direction of Lieutenant-Colonel John Harvey.
During the battle, Gen William Winder ordered the U.S. 5th Infantry to protect the left flank, unintentionally creating a gap in the American lines.
