The siege of Coruña, also known as the defense of Corunna, was a two-week long series of military encounters between the English Armada, also known as the Counter Armada or the Drake–Norris expedition, a revenge English expedition within the Anglo-Spanish war, and the defenders of the fishermen's city of Coruña in Galicia in May 1589. The siege was the first interaction between the Drake–Norris expedition and the Spanish troops and set the tone for the rest of the campaign.
