Monchy-le-Preux (French pronunciation: [mɔ̃ʃi pʁø]) is a commune in the Pas-de-Calais department in the Hauts-de-France region of France ten kilometres (six miles) southeast of Arras.

During the First World War, ten Commonwealth soldiers, from Newfoundland territory while still independent from Canada fought off a German counterattack in April 1917 and kept the village from German occupation.
