The battle of Frisches Haff was a naval battle between Sweden and Prussia that took place September 10, 1759 in the Vistula Lagoon ( _de. Frisches Haff), as part of the ongoing Seven Years' War. Swedish naval forces consisting of 28 vessels and 2,250 men under Captain Lieutenant Carl Rutensparre destroyed a Prussian force of 13 vessels and 700 men under Wilhelm von Carpelan.

The consequence of the battle was that the small fleet Prussia had at its disposal ceased to exist. The loss of naval supremacy meant also that the Prussian positions at Usedom and Wollin became untenable and were occupied by Swedish troops.
