The '''[[battle honour]]''' of '''Mysore''' commemorates the action of native units of the [[Honourable East India Company|British East India Company]] in the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]] of 1789–92.

[[Tipu Sultan]] attacked [[Travancore]] on 29 December 1789 and this made the Nizam of [[Hyderabad State|Hyderabad]] and the [[Marathas]] apprehensive who entered into a "Triple Alliance" with the [[Honourable East India Company|British]]. The Third Anglo-Mysore War went on for about two years in three campaigns. [[Cornwallis]], the [[Governor General]] took command after the first campaign, captured [[Bangalore]] on 21 March 1791 but failed to capture [[Seringapatnam]] due to brilliant generalship of Tipu and the rains. Fighting was resumed later and Tipu captured [[Coimbatore]] on 3 November. Helped by an Army sent from [[Bombay]], Cornwallis occupied the hill fort of [[Nandi Hills, India|Nandy Droog]] about {{convert|50|km|mi|0}} north of Bangalore on his line of communication towards Seringapatnam where he reached on 5 February 1792.
Tipu averted a complete disaster and concluded a treaty in March surrendering half his dominions; a large portion went to the Nizam, a portion went to the Marathas, the English acquired [[Malabar (Northern Kerala)|Malabar]] and [[Coorg]] on the west coast, [[Dindigul]] and adjoining districts. on the south and the Baramahal district on the east.

The honour was awarded to 29 units of the armies of the [[Bombay Presidency|Bombay]] and [[Madras Presidency]] through order 378 of 1889; only 15 units survive. It was awarded to four units of the [[Bengal Native Infantry]] in 1829; these units mutinied in 1857.<ref>Sarbans Singh, ''Battle honours of the Indian Army, 1757–1971'', University of Michigan, 1993, pp. 102–104.</ref>

The battle honour is considered [[Repugnant battle honours of the Indian Army|repugnant]].<ref>Singh, p. 287</ref>
