The Action off Rügen was a naval engagment between the French Navy and the North German Federal Navy during the Franco-Prussian War. A North German squadron attempted to attack a French squadron blockading off the coast of Rügen. The two sides battled inconclusively for several hours before the outgunned German squadron withdrew back to port.
