The Battle of Goteik Gorge (Burmese: ဂုတ်ထိပ်တိုက်ပွဲ [ɡoʊʔtʰeɪʔ taɪʔpwɛ́]) took place during the Sino–Burmese War (1765–1769) fought between the Konbaung Dynasty of Burma (Myanmar) and the Qing Dynasty of China in late December 1767 or early January 1768. It was the first major battle in the third invasion by the Chinese who had previously unsuccessfully invaded Burma in 1765 and 1766. The Chinese victory cleared the way for the main Chinese army to Ava, the Burmese capital.
