The King's American Dragoons were a British provincial military unit, raised for Loyalist service during the American Revolutionary War. They were founded by Colonel Benjamin Thompson, later Count Rumford, in 1781. They were initially formed from the remnants of other British Loyalist units, including Black Loyalist soldiers. The King's American Dragoons primarily served on Long Island in 1782 and early 1783, where they earned local notoriety for destroying a church and burial ground in order to erect Fort Golgotha in Huntington.

Eles foram criados pelo Coronel Benjamin Thompson, depois Conde Rumford, em 1781. Os Dragões Americanos do Rei serviram especialmente em Long Island em 1782 e no começo de 1783, onde conseguiram reputação por destruir uma igreja e um cemitério a fim de construir o Forte Golgotha em Huntington. Eles foram evacuados de Nova York e instalados em Saint John, New Brunswick, em julho de 1783. Eles foram dissolvidos lá em outubro. (pt)
