The Siege of Lindholmen (Danish: Belejringen af Lindholmen) was a siege of the former Danish castle of Lindholmen in Scania during the Danish-Hanseatic War of 1361 – 1370 between SuecoHanseatic and Danish forces. The siege ended in a Danish victory: the Hanseatic leader Bruno Warendorp was killed, and the siege was subsequently lifted.
