Pertempuran Hampton Roads, sering dirujuk kepada Pertempuran Monitor dan Merrimack (atau Virginia) atau Pertempuran Ironclads, adalah pertempuran laut paling terkenal dan bisa dikatakan yang paling penting dari Perang Saudara Amerika dari sudut pandang pengembangan angkatan laut. Pertempuran ini berlangsung selama dua hari, dari 8-9 Maret 1862, di Hampton Roads, sebuah dermaga di Virginia di mana sungai Elizabeth dan Nansemond bertemu dengan Sungai James sebelum memasuki Teluk Chesapeake yang berdekatan dengan kota Norfolk. Pertempuran ini adalah bagian dari upaya Konfederasi untuk mematahkan blokade Union, yang telah memutuskan kota terbesar Virginia, Norfolk dan Richmond, dari perdagangan internasional.^[2]^[3]
