The Landing at Ystad (Danish: Landgangen ved Ysted, Swedish: Landningen vid Ystad), also known as the Battle of Ystad, (Danish: Slaget ved Ysted, Swedish: Slaget vid Ystad) was an amphibious attack and landing at Ystad performed by a Dano-Dutch fleet on 27 June 1676 during the Scanian War. The landing was a success, and the Swedish garrison and relief force were forced to retreat.
