The siege of Landrecies (17–30 April 1794) was a military operation during the Spring 1794 campaign in the Low Countries theatre of the War of the First Coalition. It was conducted by the veldleger (mobile army) of the Dutch States Army, commanded by the Hereditary Prince of Orange, assisted by auxiliary forces from the Habsburg Austrian army, against the fortress of Landrecies, garrisoned by troops of the First French Republic under general Henri Victor Roulland. The fortress capitulated on 30 April 1794.
