The Battle of Thị Nại Bay was a military engagement between Champa and the Yuan dynasty in February 1283. The battle took place on the landing beach of Thị Nại Bay, near Champa's capital Vijaya (modern-day Qui Nhơn, Vietnam). Despite being outnumbered, the Yuan invaders managed to break the Cham defensive line, forced the Cham monarch Indravarman V to retreat to the western highlands, where he waged an successfully guerrilla campaign against the occupying Yuan forces.
