The Capture of Serampore (Danish: Overtagelsen af Serampore), alternatively the Capture of Frederiknagore (Danish: Overtagelsen af Frederiknagore), was a British capture of the Danish colony of Serampore (Frederiknagore) on 8 May 1801 during the English Wars. The British met no resistance, and could subsequently quickly capture the settlement.
