The siege of Steinvikholm was a siege of Steinvikholm Castle in Stjørdalen, Norway. The siege was between the forces of the Catholic Deacon Knud Pederson Skanke and noble Tord Roed.
The siege started in April after the Archbishop of Norway Olav Engelbrektsson had fled the country. The protestant forces laid siege to the castle and did a naval blockade of the fjord. The defenders fired their canons at the besiegers day and night, and refused several request to surrender to the protestant forces. But the defenders surrendered on 17 May. The reason was that the defenders heard a rumour that the noble Truid Ulfstand was on his way to Trondheim from Denmark with a force of 1500 men. The defenders stipulated for there surrender that; non of the defenders where to be punished after the surrender, and be pardoned for there involvement in the rebellion. Knud Pederson Skanke was to keep all his possessions he had at the castle, and keep his position as deacon.
