The 86th Regiment of Foot (Rutland Regiment) was a British regiment raised for service in the American Revolutionary War.[1]

It was raised in England in July 1779 by Charles Manners, 4th Duke of Rutland, in the area around Newark, Nottinghamshire and Grantham, Lincolnshire. The colonel was Anthony St Leger.[2] The regiment had yellow facings on their red coats.[3]

It was sent to the Leeward Islands in January 1780. Five companies stationed on Tobago were captured June 1781.[3]

The regiment returned to England and was disbanded in 1783 at York.[2]
