| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pertempuran Sungei Koemba (27 Mei – 12 Juni 1965) berlangsung selama konfrontasi Indonesia–Malaysia. Melibatkan tentara Australia dan Indonesia, pertempuran ini terdiri dari serangkaian sergapan yang dilancarkan 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3 RAR) di sepanjang Sungei Koemba di Kalimantan. Penyergapan ini adalah bagian dari Operasi Claret yang melibatkan beberapa operasi lintas perbatasan oleh sejumlah satuan Persemakmuran Britania dari pangkalan di Sarawak, menembus wilayah Indonesia sejauh 10.000 yard (9.100 m) untuk mengganggu pergerakan dan pengiriman suplai ABRI dan membuat mereka kocar-kacir.
Penyergapan pertama dilakukan oleh dua peleton B Company pada 27 Mei 1965 dan menewaskan beberapa tentara Indonesia tanpa korban di pihak Australia. Sergapan kedua dilakukan agak ke hilir oleh satu peleton C Company pada 12 Juni 1965 dan lagi-lagi menewaskan tentara Indonesia tanpa korban di pihak Australia.
