The Free Legion of Americans and the South (French: Légion Franche des Américains et du Midi) (also known as the American Legion (French: Légion Américaine), the Légion Noire and the Légion de Saint-Georges) was a short-lived military legion of National Volunteers formed in December 1792 during the French Revolution and disbanded in March 1795.
The legion was notable for being composed entirely of free men of colour of both mixed-race and black heritage.
