The Siege of Bohus fortress (Swedish: Belägringen av Bohus fästning) occurred in 1676 during the early stages of the Scanian War when Norwegian general Ulrik Frederik Gyldenløve invaded Bohuslän and besieged Bohus fortress, retreating on 16 September after supplies dwindled and the Swedish commander in the fortress refused to surrender.
