Friedland 1807 is a two-player board wargame designed by Jon Baxley and published by Imperial Games in 1974. It simulates the Battle of Friedland of June 1807, in which a Russian force under Count von Bennigsen attacked an isolated portion of Napoleon I's French army, only for Napoleon to arrive with reinforcements and pin the Russians against the Alle River, resulting in a decisive French victory. As a niche wargame from a small 1970s hobby publisher, Friedland 1807 is documented chiefly for its historical subject and its place among the wave of Napoleonic-era conflict simulations that hobby wargame publishers produced during that decade.
