The Battle of Maehwa-San was a battle fought for control of the hills and area around Maehwasan mountain between the county of Hoengseong and the city of Wonju, between 7–12 March 1951, during the Korean War. The 27th British Commonwealth Brigade was tasked with eliminating the Chinese and North Korean forces occupying the area.

The mountain was strategic for the continuing operations in the offensive known as Operation Ripper, and was 1,085 m (3,560 ft) in height. The objective was known as "Operation Woodbine". The 27th British Commonwealth Brigade, led by Brigadier Basil Aubrey Coad, consisted of the 1st Battalion, Argyll and Sutherland Highland Regiment, the 1st Battalion, Middlesex Regiment, the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR).
