The Raid on Baltischport was a successful Swedish military operation during the Russo-Swedish war of 1788–1790 which targeted the small Estonian port of Paldiski (Roggersvik; then called Baltiyskiy Port). The Swedish force consisted of 2 frigates and 50-60 men led by Rudolf Cederström. The operation resulted in the Russian naval stores and war material located in Paldiski no longer being able to be used for the imminent mobilization.
