'''Slaget om Buqqar-høyderyggen''' fant sted den 27. oktober 1917 da et infanteriregiment og kavaleri fra [[Yildirim Army Group]] angrep 8. beredne brigade fra det [[egyptiske ekspedisjonskorps]] (EEF) i en av de siste dagene i [[stillingskrigen i Sør-Palestina]] under [[kampene i Sinai og Palestina]] i [[første verdenskrig]].

Den øverstkommanderende for Yildirim Army Group gav ordre til en storstilt rekognosering med en styrke som langt overgikk den beredne britiske brigade, som holdt forpostlinjen. Tross et stort antall tap foretok en gruppe en liten tilbaketrekning for å holde stand inntil det kom forsterkninger og angriperne trakk seg dermed tilbake. Likevel ble en annen gruppe angrepet og nedkjempet.

Fire dager senere innledet to infanteri og to beredne divisjoner ekspedisjonsstyrkens offensiv i det sørlige [[Palestina]] med [[slaget om Beersheba]] den [[31. oktober]] [[1917]].
