The attack on Burgstall, Angern, and Reindorff was a Swedish surprise night raid against Liga and Holy Roman Empire troops during the Thirty Years' War, at the villages of Burgstall, Angern, and Reindorff near Wolmirstedt. The attack occurred on the night of July 27–28, 1631 and the resulting action was a Swedish victory that boosted their morale and disrupted Imperial supplies; additionally all three villages were burned and plundered. Present at the battle were 1,500 Swedes under Gustavus Adolphus, Wolf Heinrich von Baudissin, and Rheingrave Otto Ludwig von Salm-Kyrburg-Mörchingen and 4,000 imperials and Liga troops under Wratel Euseb von Bernstein, Ernesto Montecuccoli, Heinrich Holk, and Johann Coronini von Cronberg.
