Dahongga (Manchu: ᡩᠠᡥᡡངᡤᠠ|v=dahūnggā|a=dahvnggā; ? - 1854), of the Fucha clan, with the courtesy name Houan, was a member of the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner and a military official who rose from the ranks to become a General (Zongbing) in the Qing dynasty. He started as a guard and was recommended for promotion, eventually becoming a General. In 1835 (the fifteenth year of the Daoguang era), he was transferred to serve as the Taiwan Garrison Commander (Zongbing). During his five-year tenure as garrison commander, he successfully eliminated bandits in areas such as Jiayi and Changhua.

There are claims that he defeated British forces during the Battle of Dahan in the First Opium War. However, other documents and works suggest that this battle was actually an incident where a British ship ran aground, known as the "Nemesis" incident.
