The Battle of Bạch Đằng, which took place at the Bach Dang River, near Ha Long Bay in present-day northern Vietnam, was a battle between Đại Việt and the invading army of the Yuan Dynasty. It is considered part of the Third Mongol Invasion (1287-88).

The Battle of Bạch Đằng is considered one of the greatest victories in Vietnamese military history and the victorious General Trần Hưng Đạo enjoys posthumous status as a deified warrior hero.
