The Naval Expedition to Stockholm (Swedish: Sjötåget mot Stockholm; Danish: Kristian IV's Tog mod Stockholm) occurred from 31 August to 10 September 1612. It occurred during the late stages of the Kalmar War, where a Danish fleet of 36 warships under Christian IV attempted to attack Stockholm and capture it, which failed.
