The siege of Christianstad (Danish: Belejringen af Christianstad, Swedish: Belägringen av Kristianstad), also known as the Capture of Christianstad (Danish: Overtagelsen af Christianstad, Swedish: övertagandet av Kristianstad), was a siege conducted by Christian V of Denmark on the Swedish-held city of Christianstad (Kristianstad) from 10 to 15 August 1676 during the Scanian War. The besieged Swedes would eventually surrender, and Christianstad would be occupied until 1678.
