The Lord Grand Prior's Regiment, also known as Fitzjames' Regiment and as the Regiment of the Marine (Régiment de la Marine d'Angleterre), was an infantry regiment originally raised in Ireland to fight for the deposed monarch James II during his war against his successor, William of Orange. While technically classed as a regiment of marines for much of its existence, as James possessed no navy it generally fought as conventional infantry. Its colonel was James's illegitimate son Henry Fitzjames, Grand Prior of the Knights of Malta, although in practice field command was delegated to an experienced lieutenant-colonel.

| - The Lord Grand Prior's Regiment, also known as Fitzjames' Regiment and as the Regiment of the Marine (Régiment de la Marine d'Angleterre), was an infantry regiment originally raised in Ireland to fight for the deposed monarch James II during his war against his successor, William of Orange. While technically classed as a regiment of marines for much of its existence, as James possessed no navy it generally fought as conventional infantry. Its colonel was James's illegitimate son Henry Fitzjames, Grand Prior of the Knights of Malta, although in practice field command was delegated to an experienced lieutenant-colonel. Following Jacobite defeat in Ireland the regiment was reformed in France, seeing heavy fighting on the Continent as part of the Irish Brigade. In 1703 Nicholas Fitzgerald became colonel, and the regiment was designated the Régiment de Fitzgerald; it finally became the Régiment d'Odonnell under Daniel O'Donnell, before disbandment in 1715.
