The Battle off Jask was a series of naval engagements in December 1620 and January 1621 between the Portuguese fleet under Rui Freire de Andrade and the English East India Company ships under Andrew Shilling and John Weddell. It was the first military confrontation between two European powers in the Persian Gulf.
Later, during the Siege of Qishm, Freire ordered his naval squadron to attack Jask. The Portuguese and Hormuzi forces successfully plundered the town and the English factory, but the attack only intensified English hostility towards the Portuguese in the Gulf.
