The Tranquebar Mutiny (Danish: Trankebar opstanden) also known as the Tranquebar Rebellion (Danish: Trankebar oprøret) was a bloodless mutiny and uprising against the Governor of Tranquebar Willem Leyel, at Tranquebar in 1648. The mutinists succeded in arresting Willem Leyel, and Leyel would be replaced by the first Danish governor Paul Hansen Korsør.
