Operasi Zipper adalah sebuah operasi militer yang direncanakan oleh Britania Raya untuk menaklukkan Pelabuhan Swettenham atau Pelabuhan Dickson di semenanjung Malaya selama Perang Dunia II. Tujuan utama dari Operasi Zipper ialah mengawali upaya penaklukan kembali atas Singapura yang dikuasai oleh Kekaisaran Jepang selama Perang Dunia II. Namun Operasi Zipper tidak pernah terlaksana karena perang di kawasan Asia Pasifik berakhir dengan kekalahan Jepang.

He fainted and was rushed to hospital; the military policemen who carried him there took his sword as a souvenir." Bayly & Harper, page 49
