    Kampen om Bagnsbergatn gård var en trefning mellom 3. kompani av IR 10 og de fremrykkende tyske styrkene som marsjerte opp Ådalen og inn i Valdres under Operasjon Weserübung i den andre verdenskrig. De tyske styrkene prøvde å omgå de norske stillingene i Bagn i Sør-Aurdal kommune. Nede i dalen er det en stor åpen gryte hvor veien går inn i gryta gjennom et smalt gjel i hver ende. De tyske styrkene kom ikke forbi og prøvde en rask flankemarsj over Bagnsbergatn med påfølgende infiltrasjon i de bakre norske områder for sperrestillingen ved Bagn.
