The Londonderry Militia, later the Londonderry Light Infantry, was an Irish Militia regiment raised in County Londonderry in 1793 under the command of Lord Castlereagh. It saw action during the Irish Rebellion of 1798. It joined the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers in 1881 but was soon converted into a militia artillery unit before being disbanded in 1909.
