Bitka pri Red Banku, znana tudi kot Bitka pri Fort Mercerju, se je odvila 22. oktobra 1777 med ameriško revolucionarno vojno.[2] Sila 1,200 hessijskih vojakov je bila poslana, da zavzame Fort Mercer na newjerseyjski strani reke Delaware južno od Filadelfije, vendar jo je premagala manjša sila vojakov kontinentalne armade.[3]
Čeprav je utrdba Mercer mesec dni kasneje padla v roke Britancev, je zmaga v bitki pri Red Banku služila kot zelo potrebna moralna spodbuda za Patriotski cilj, saj je odložila britanske načrte za utrditev pridobitev v Filadelfiji in zmanjšala pritisk na Washingtonovo kontinentalno armado, ki je bila vkopana severno od Filadelfije.
