The siege of Mézières took place in 1521, during the Italian War of 1521–1526. The town (now part of Charleville-Mézières) was besieged by an army of the Holy Roman Empire. Mézières was defended by French troops under the command of Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard and Anne de Montmorency.
The siege was a failure, and the determined resistance of the French gave more time for Francis I of France to gather strength against Charles V.
