The Battle of Stralsund took place on 31 May 1809 during the Dano-Swedish War of 1808–1809 and Franco-Swedish War, both part of the larger Napoleonic Wars. It was fought between Prussian freikorps under Ferdinand von Schill and French, Dutch and Dano-Norwegian troops in Stralsund. In a "vicious street battle", Schill's army was defeated and he was killed in action.
