A British operation against Danish-held Anholt on 25–27 March 1811 succeeded, and a Danish gunboat attempt to retake the island is recorded for 27 February 1811.
The Battle of Anholt was a successful British military operation under the command of James Wilkes Maurice against the Danish-held island of Anholt, whose forces were commanded by Jørgen Conrad de Falsen, fought during the Gunboat War between the United Kingdom and Denmark-Norway, part of the wider Napoleonic Wars. Separately, Danish gunboats manned by nearly 1,000 men, including infantry forces, are recorded as attempting to recapture Anholt on 27 February 1811; the supplied passages do not describe the outcome of that attempt or its relationship to the 25–27 March battle.
