The Invasion of Gotland (Danish: Erobringen af Gotland/Gulland[a], Swedish: Erövringen av Gotland) was a Danish sea-borne invasion of the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, led by admiral Niels Juel during the Scanian War. The invasion took place from 28 April to 1 May 1676.
Gotland was occupied by Denmark until 1679, when the war was formally ended.[1][2]
