The Battle of Bactieu was a major battle fought in the Asianna and the Pacific Campaign of the Second Europan War. It was primarily between the Concordian Seventh Army and Tenth Army, and the Quenminese 31st Army and Army of Bactieu.

Given the ferocity of both sides, the intensity of suicide attacks and bombings, and the numerous amount of Allied ships, the battle has been referred to as the "violent clash of steel" in English. Being so, it was also one of the bloodiest battles ever fought in the Campaign, and the second bloodiest battle in Concordian military history after Gettysburg.
