The Battle of Maguaga was a small battle fought between British troops, Canadian militia and Tecumseh's natives against a larger force of American troops in Maguaga, Michigan.

After the clearcut British victory at the Battle of Frenchtown General Hull decided to attack the British in Michigan. Once the battle was under way his troops accidentally shot the Indians on their right flank. This small battle was not progressing much but the Americans gained access to some of the supplies and destroyed them but were temporarily repulsed.

The British and their allies were facing heavy fire from the enemy's superior numbers and withdrew. The Americans also withdrew, with larger casualties, when William Hull was ordered to return his army back to Detroit.
