The Battle of Tourcoing was fought near the town of Tourcoing, just north of Lille in northeastern France on 18 May 1794 and resulted in the victory of the French under Major-Generals Joseph Souham and Jean Moreau over the British under the Duke of York and the Austrians under General the Prince of Saxe-Coburg. It is sometimes referred to the Battle of Turcoine, as a gesture towards the British pronunciation of the town.
