The Bombardment of Reval (Swedish: Beskjutningen av Reval) was an attack carried out by the Dano–Lübeckian Navy against the town of Reval (modern-day Tallinn) in 1569 during the Northern Seven Years' War. The attack led to Peder Munk bringing home a large booty from plundering merchant ships. If he had landed his men in time, he would have been able to capture the city as well.
