The Battle for Piva Trail was a battle between United States Marine Corps and Imperial Japanese Army forces on Bougainville Island. The battle took place on 8–9 November 1943 during the Bougainville campaign in the days following the US landing at Cape Torokina earlier in the month. The fighting took place inland from the US beachhead, as the Japanese began moving troops from the 23rd Infantry Regiment north from southern Bougainville. These troops subsequently clashed with a blocking force of US Marines that had been positioned along the Piva Trail to protect one of the key avenues of approach towards Cape Torokina. It had been intended that the 23rd Infantry Regiment would co-ordinate their assault with a counter landing at Koromokina Lagoon, but ultimately this did not occur as the main assault was delayed until after the counter landing was defeated. The fighting for the Piva Trail resulted in heavy casualties for the Japanese and was followed by a series of actions throughout November and December 1943 as US forces sought to expand their perimeter around Cape Torokina.

November 1943 während der sogenannten Bougainville-Kampagne nach der Operation Cherryblossom am 1. November 1943 statt. Die Kämpfe begannen landeinwärts vom US-Brückenkopf, als japanische Truppen des 23. Infanterieregimentes sich in Richtung des US-Brückenkopfes an der Koromokina Lagune bewegten. Diese Truppen stießen auf US-Marines, die sich am Piva Trail, einem der begehbaren Wege nach , positioniert hatten. Es war beabsichtigt, dass das 23. Infanterieregiment seinen Angriff mit einer Gegenlandung in der Koromokina-Lagune koordinieren würde. Dies geschah jedoch letztendlich nicht, da der Hauptangriff verzögert wurde und erst begann, als die Gegenlandung bereits gescheitert war. Die Kämpfe um den Piva Trail führten zu schweren Verlusten für die Japaner und wurden von einer Reihe von Aktionen im November und Dezember 1943 gefolgt, als die US-Streitkräfte versuchten, ihren Brückenkopf um Kap Torokina zu erweitern.
