The Battle of Go Cong was a small battle during the Vietnam War. It took place on September 3, 1963, after the General Staff of the National Liberation Front called for "another Ap Bac" on South Vietnamese forces.

The battle was won by United States forces, after inflicting heavy casualties on the Liberation Army of South Vietnam (Viet Cong).

It was later discovered that the 91 of the captured LASVN troops were new recruits, and did not have weapons.
