The Bombardment of Reval (Danish: Bombardementet af Reval, Swedish: bombardementet av Reval), also known as the Expedition to Reval (Danish: Togtet til Reval), was a bombardment of the Swedish-held Reval (Tallinn) by the Danish and Lübeckian navies in July 1569 during the Northern Seven Years' War. The bombardment was unsuccessful, and the Danish-Lübeckian navy returned to Copenhagen.
