The Raid on Oropesa took place on 9 June 1801 off the coast of Spain at Oropesa del Mar, when two Royal Navy brigs; HMS Kangaroo and HMS Speedy attacked the port after chasing an armed Spanish convoy. The two British ships took out a fortification of twelve guns and then sank or drove ashore all of the Spanish ships with the exception of three brigs, which they captured.
