De Slag bij Halidon Hill vond plaats op 19 juli 1333 en was de laatste grote veldslag van de Schotse Onafhankelijkheidsoorlogen.

Toen de Schotse troepen aangevoerd door Sir Archibald Douglas probeerden de sinds 12 april belegerde stad Berwick-upon-Tweed te ontzetten werden zij in voor hen zeer ongunstige terreinomstandigheden door de Engelse troepen vernietigend verslagen. De Schotse troepen trokken door drassig gebied en moesten van daaruit Halidon Hill bestormen, waar zij door de Engelsen werden opgewacht. Zij waren een gemakkelijk doelwit voor de Engelsen, die efficiënt gebruik maakten van boogschutters met longbows.
