The invasion of Martinique was a successful British amphibious operation against the French colony of Martinique that took place between 30 January and 24 February 1809 during the West Indies campaign of 1804–1810 of the Napoleonic Wars. Martinique, like the nearby island of Guadeloupe, was a major threat to Britain's trade in the West Indies, providing a sheltered base from which privateers and French Navy warships could raid British merchant shipping and disrupt the trade routes that maintained the economy of the United Kingdom. Both islands also provided a focus for larger-scale French operations in the region and in the autumn of 1808, following the Spanish alliance with Britain, the Admiralty decided to order a British squadron to neutralise the threat, beginning with Martinique.

  • La prise de la Martinique désigne une opération amphibie britannique pour s'emparer, en février 1809, de l'île de la Martinique. Après un mois de combat, le gouverneur français, l'amiral Villaret de Joyeuse, capitule devant l'amiral Cochrane et le général Beckwith. Les forces anglaises peuvent dès lors se tourner vers la Guadeloupe, qu'ils conquièrent l'année suivante. (fr)
  • غزو مارتينيك في العام 1809، عملية غزو برمائية بريطانية ناجحة ضد جزيرة مارتينيك في الهند الغربية التابعة لفرنسا، وحدث الغزو بين 30 يناير و24 فبراير 1809 خلال حملة الهند الغربية 1804-1810 ضمن الحروب النابليونية. يُذكر أن مارتينيك، مثلها مثل غواديلوب المجاورة لها، كانت تشكّل تهديدًا رئيسيًا للتجارة البريطانية في البحر الكاريبي، إذ مثّلت قاعدة محمية انطلق منها القراصنة الموظفون والسفن الحربية التابعة للبحرية الفرنسية لقرصنة السفن البريطانية وتعطيل المسارات التجارية التي دعمت الاقتصاد البريطاني. إضافة إلى ذلك، فقد عملت الجُزر بمثابة المحور للعمليات الفرنسية الكبرى في المنطقة، وفي خريف العام 1808، بعد قيام تحالف إسباني مع بريطانيا، قررت الأميرالية البريطانية تحييد خطر الجزر، وابتدأت بمارتينيك.
