The Battle of Te-li-ssu (得利寺の戦い Tokuriji no tatakai), also called Battle of Wafangou (Russian: Бой у Вафангоу) after the nearby railway station, was a land battle of the Russo-Japanese War. The battle was fought on 14–15 June 1904 between the Japanese Second Army under General Oku Yasukata and the Russian First Siberian Army Corps under Lieutenant General Georgii Stackelberg, at a hamlet some 80 mi (130 km) north of Port Arthur, Manchuria. The battle resulted in a Japanese victory.

The hamlet is known today as Délì-sì, and is located just north of Wafangdian, Liaoning Province, China..
