The Battle of Hexham is a 1789 history play by the British writer George Colman the Younger.

It is based around the 1464 Battle of Hexham, a decisive Yorkist victory during the War of the Roses.

It revived Colman's career after the disappointment of his works following his earlier hit Inkle and Yarico.

[1] It premiered at the Haymarket Theatre in London on 11 August 1789 with a cast that included John Edwin and Maria Theresa Kemble.

It combined a mixture of comedy, pathos and mystery and owned a great deal of its inspiration to Shakespeare's histories.
