The Balasore Road Campaign (Danish: Balasore Rede Kampangen), or the Battle of Balasore Road (Danish: Slaget ved Balasore Rede), was a military campaign in 1673 conducted by the Danish commander, Werner Friis, against the Mughals to reestablish lost trading privileges at Balasore and Odisha. The campaign was a clear success for the Danish East India Company, and the Danish factory at Balasore was reestablished.
