Bình Giã is a commune (xã) and village in Châu Đức District, Bà Rịa–Vũng Tàu province, in Vietnam. Bình Giã is known for being the site of a major battle during the Vietnam War.
The Battle of Bình Giã took place from December 28-29, 1964, and was one of the first large-scale engagements between the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) and the National Liberation Front (NLF) or Viet Cong.
