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