The Battle of Siikajoki was fought between Swedish and Russian troops on April 18, 1808 at Siikajoki, near Oulu, Finland. During the first stage of the Finnish War the Swedish commander Wilhelm Mauritz Klingspor had decided to retreat from southern Finland. Siikajoki was the first major attempt to stop the advancing Russians. The force commanded by Georg Carl von Döbeln on the south bank of the Siikajoki river halted the Russian advance. The Russians were defeated after Carl Johan Adlercreutz's troops joined the battle.
