The Bornholm uprising (Danish: Den bornholmske opstand, Swedish: Upproret på Bornholm), also known as the Bornholm revolt, was a popular uprising against the newly established Swedish presence on the island of Bornholm.
After the decisive Dano-Swedish War of 1657–1658, Skåneland, including Bornholm, was ceded to the Swedish Empire in the Treaty of Roskilde. However, increased taxes and conscription by the new Swedish governor, Johan Printzensköld, led to major discontent with the local inhabitants. The unrest culminated in the assassination of Governor Printzensköld, followed by the collapse of Swedish forces on the Island.
