The Malta Coast Artillery was a coastal artillery unit in the British Army which existed from 1802 to 1815 in Malta, then a British protectorate and later a colony.

According to the Treaty of Amiens of 1802, Britain was to evacuate Malta and restore the islands to the Order of St. John.

The treaty also stated that at least half of Malta's garrison had to consist of 2000 Maltese soldiers led by native officers.

[2] In February 1803, the Malta Coast Artillery consisted of 170 men.

[2] The Malta Coast Artillery was amalgamated with the Maltese Provincial Battalions and the Maltese Veterans to form the Royal Malta Fencible Regiment on 16 February 1815.
