Hoburg Shoal, also called Hoburgs bank, is a shallow area of the Baltic Sea on the southern Gotland shelf, south of Hoburgen off the southern tip of Gotland, Sweden, with water depths ranging from about 15 to 40 metres across its northern and southern sections. It is protected as a bird reserve of roughly 1,226 square kilometres, classified as a Special Protection Area under the EU Birds Directive and included in the Natura 2000 network for its importance to seabirds.
