The raid on La Goulette of 1612 was a naval attack by Spanish captain Antonio Pimentel over La Goulette, the main port of Ottoman Tunisia. The raid destroyed a local fleet of western ships built by French privateer Zymen Danseker, who had planned to use it to spread Barbary pirate activity to the Spanish territories in America.
