The Battle of Dengbu Island (Chinese: 登步島戰役; pinyin: Dēngbù Dǎo Zhànyì) was a conflict between the Republic of China Army and People's Liberation Army over Dengbu Island (in the Zhoushan Islands) near mainland China. This conflict occurred from 3 November 1949 to 5 November 1949 and resulted in a Republic of China Army's victory.^[1]

Nevertheless, the Kuomintang was forced to withdraw in May 1950 when the PLA gained air superiority over the region, leaving Dengbu Island in the control of the mainland government.^[1]
