The Battle of Køge Bay was a naval battle between Denmark-Norway and Sweden that took place in the bay off of Køge 1–2 July 1677 during the Scanian War. The battle was a major success for Admiral Niels Juel after his previous victory one month earlier at the Battle of Møn, and is regarded as the greatest victory in Danish naval history.
