The Battle of South Guangxi (simplified Chinese: 桂南会战; traditional Chinese: 桂南會戰; pinyin: Guìnán Huìzhàn), was one of the 22 major engagements between the National Revolutionary Army and Imperial Japanese Army during the Second Sino-Japanese War.

In this battle the Japanese successfully cut off Chongqing from the sea, effectively severing foreign aid to China's war efforts by the sea, rendering the Burma Road and The Hump as the only way to send aid to China for quite some time.
