The First Battle of Maryang San (3?8 October 1951), also known as the Defensive Battle of Maliangshan (Chinese: ??????; pinyin: Maliang Shan Fangyu Zhan), was fought during the Korean War between United Nations (UN) forces—primarily Australian and British—and the Chinese communist People's Volunteer Army. The fighting occurred during a limited UN offensive by US I Corps, codenamed Operation Commando.
