The Swedish conquest of Langeland (Danish: Erobringen af Langeland) was a Swedish amphibious invasion and conquest of the Danish island of Langeland in March 1659, during the Dano-Swedish War of 1658–1660. By performing a pincer movement through two different beachheads, the Swedes, commanded by Carl Gustaf Wrangel, managed to conquer the island despite resistance.
