The Battle of Escape Creek was a naval engagement fought between the United Kingdom's Royal Navy and the Qing Chinese naval force on 25–27 May 1857 during the Second Opium War. Commodore Charles Elliot's squadron chased the war-junks at Escape Creek and then, once the British ships were grounded as the river narrowed, they chased them in the ships' boats until all the junks had been overhauled.
