The Siege of Pulicat (1645–1646) was a military conflict fought between the Vijayanagara Empire under Sriranga III and the Dutch held town of Pulicat on the Coromandel Coast. The siege began in August 1645 as the Raya attempted to bring the important port under his control. The siege continued for several months but was interrupted by the invasion of Golconda Army under Mir Jumla II and internal rebellions among the Raya's vassals. The siege was abandoned without the capture of Pulicat.
