The Battle of Providien was the second in a series of naval battles fought between a British fleet, under Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Hughes, and a French fleet, under the Bailli de Suffren, off the coast of India during the Anglo-French War. The battle was fought on 12 April 1782 off the east coast of Ceylon, near a rocky islet called Providien, south of Trincomalee.[5]

^Castex (p. 315) calls this a French victory on account of more severe damage to Hughes's fleet. Mahan (p. 566) and Malleson (p. 26) do not explicitly designate a victor.
