The 146th New York Infantry Regiment, nicknamed Garrard's Tigers, was a Federal regiment which mustered on October 10, 1862, and mustered out on July 16, 1865. The regiment was raised and organized in Rome, New York, and was known as the 5th Oneida Regiment. Another nickname for this unit was the Halleck's Infantry, after New York-born general Henry Halleck.

During the Appomattox Campaign, the regiment helped break the Confederate line at the decisive Battle of Five Forks where their commander, Colonel James G. Grindlay captured two battle flags. Grindlay was awarded the Medal of Honor along with David Edwards for their actions at Five Forks.
