The surrender of Saint Barthélemy occurred from 19 to 21 March 1801, where the Swedish colony of Saint Barthélemy surrendered to a British fleet during the French Revolutionary Wars as a result of Sweden joining the Second League of Armed Neutrality. The British fleet arrived on 19 March, and after assembling a council of war, the Swedes decided to surrender, which occurred on 21 March.
