The Battle of Simmon's Bluff was a minor and bloodless Union victory, fought June 21, 1862, in Meggett, South Carolina, during the American Civil War.

Union forces were eager to capture the city, so they sent the 55th Pennsylvania Infantry regiment to sever the rail line.

The 55th Pennsylvania departed by sea shortly before the battle in search of a place to land closer to the railroad.

[1] The Confederates scattered after the encampment was razed and were unable to launch an effective counterattack.

After the raid, the Union forces returned to their ships and abandoned their original objective, which was to interrupt the rail line to Charleston.
