Tangchi (Chinese: 汤池; pinyin: Tāngchí) is a town in Tailai County, western Heilongjiang province, Northeast China, about 43 kilometres (27 mi) south-southwest of the city of Qiqihar.

It was the site of a battle in the Jiangqiao Campaign on November 17, 1931 between Ma Zhanshan's 23,000 Chinese and 3,500 Japanese under Lt. General Jiro Tamon during the invasion of Manchuria.[citation needed]
