The Siege of Dansborg (Danish; Belejringen af Dansborg) or the Siege of Fort Dansborg (Danish; Belejringen af Fort Dansborg), was a short siege lasting from 20 to 30 December 1644, between general Tiagepule of Thanjavur and the Danish command at Fort Dansborg. The conflict started over the Danish rejection of the general's demand to tax Tranquebar, and as a result, a series of confrontations followed. The confrontations had no major result, and an armistice may have been signed.
