Die Schlacht bei Ponte Novu ereignete sich am 9. Mai 1769 in Korsika an der Brücke Ponte Novu über den Fluss Golo im Weiler Ponte Novu auf dem Gebiet der heutigen Gemeinde Castello-di-Rostino. Die Korsen führte Pasquale Paoli gegen die Franzosen unter der Führung von Noël de Jourda. Der französische König Louis XV. hatte Korsika von den Genuesen erworben; der Besitz wurde durch den Sieg in dieser Schlacht gesichert.
Rund um den gebrochenen Brückenbogen der Ponte Novu gestalten die Einwohner von Ponte Novu an jedem Jahrestag der Schlacht eine Gedenkzeremonie.[1]
In Ponte Novu befindet sich ein Museum, das Pasquale Paoli gewidmet ist.[1]

Ruines of the genoan bridge over the Golo river (Northern Corsica) known as Ponte Nuovo (co:Ponte Novu), which gave its name to the battle won by the Louis XV of France Army marking the end of the Independence of the Corsican State led by Pasquale Paoli on May, 9th, 1769. The Bridge was almost destroyed by the German Army retreating towards Bastia in September 1943 in order to slow-down the advance of the Italian troops - supported by the local Resistance and some French Colonial troops - against them.
