The action of 12 July 1564 was an engagement between naval forces of Denmark-Norway and Sweden during the Northern Seven Years' War.

This battle took place on 12 July 1564 near Warnemünde, when the Danish ships "Byens Løffue" 56, "Morian" 47 and "David" 42 defeated the Swedish ship "Hvita Falk", under Captain Björnson, after several hours of fighting. At about noon Björnson blew his ship up so that it wouldn't be captured, and there were only two survivors.
