'Bulldozer' was a British unrealised plan for an amphibious assault on the positions of Lieutenant General Tadashi Hanaya’s Japanese 55^th Division on Akyab island off the Arakan western coastal region of Japanese-occupied Burma (spring 1944).

Designed by the headquarters of Lieutenant General W. J. Slim’s British 14^th Army an exploitation of 'Cudgel', the plan was based on the use of Major General F. W. Festing’s Indian 36^th Division and Brigadier M. R. J. Hope-Thompson’s Indian 50^th Parachute Brigade, which were concentrated in the area of Calcutta and Chittagong, but the operation was cancelled for a variety of reasons, including the need for the required transport aircraft for the containment of the Japanese 'U' offensive against Imphal and Kohima.
