The siege of Brescia in 1438–1440 was an attempt by the Duchy of Milan to capture the city of Brescia, annexed in 1428 by the Republic of Venice, during the Wars in Lombardy. The long siege of Brescia was lifted after the Venetians successfully transported galleys overland into Lake Garda, overcoming the Milanese ships there. The successful defence of Brescia helped Venice preserve its recently acquired mainland dominions in the face of Milanese expansion.
