Slayback's Missouri Cavalry Regiment was a cavalry regiment that served in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. The unit consisted of men recruited in Missouri by Alonzo W. Slayback during Price's Raid in 1864. The regiment's first action was at the Battle of Pilot Knob on September 27; it later participated in actions at Sedalia, Lexington, and the Little Blue River. On October 22, the unit, then at battalion size, was used to find an alternate river crossing during the Battle of the Big Blue River. Slayback's unit then saw action at the Battle of Westport on October 23, the Battle of Marmiton River on October 25, and the Second Battle of Newtonia on October 28. The battalion was briefly furloughed in Arkansas before rejoining Major General Sterling Price in Texas in December. At an unknown date, the battalion reached official regimental strength after some additional recruits were added to the unit. In June, the regiment surrendered, although the men of the regiment were stationed at different points in Louisiana and Arkansas, leading historian James McGhee to believe that the regiment disbanded before the surrender.
