As news of this defeat reached Rome, the city was gripped in panic. Authorities resorted to extraordinary measures, which included consulting the Sibylline Books, dispatching a delegation led by Quintus Fabius Pictor to consult the Delphic oracle in Greece, and burying four people alive as a sacrifice to their gods. To raise two new legions, the authorities lowered the draft age and enlisted criminals, debtors and even slaves. Despite the extreme loss of men and equipment, and a second massive defeat later that same year at Silva Litana, the Romans refused to surrender to Hannibal. His offer to ransom survivors was brusquely refused. With grim determination, the Romans fought for 14 more years until they achieved victory at the Battle of Zama.

In August 1944 the Allies had the German army on the ropes and with a little energetic pushing they would have retreated behind the Rhine. Instead the allies stopped and crucially left the Scheldt Estuary in the hands of the Germans. They captured the port of Antwerp but with Germans in control of the Scheldt their ships couldn't get to it.

Are you asking for the best example of a battle that's both a tactical victory AND a strategic defeat (simultaneously, not leading to)?

The Battle of the Coral Sea (for Japan) comes to mind

Not responsive but France in the early portion of the 20th century is a wide lens answer.

Napoleon didn’t win a tactical victory at Borodino either. For the Russians it was a mere holding action.
