The siege of Kronborg (Danish: Belejringen af Kronborg; Swedish: Belägring av Kronborg) was a Swedish siege of the Danish stronghold Kronborg from 16 August to 6 September 1658, during the Dano-Swedish War of 1658–1660. The siege ended with a Swedish victory.
The Swedish besiegers, being led by Carl Gustaf Wrangel, successfully made the Danish commander surrender after spreading rumours that Copenhagen had fallen to the Swedes and convincing him that continued resistance was futile.
