The Siege of Olomouc took place in 1758 when a Prussian army led by Frederick II of Prussia besieged the Austrian city of Olmütz (now Olomouc, Czech Republic) during the Prussian invasion of Moravia in the Third Silesian War (Seven Years' War). The attempt stalled as the besiegers faced stronger resistance than Frederick had expected and when he assaulted and entered the city a large number of Prussian troops were trapped and encircled. With a lack of supplies and the approach of an Austrian relief force following the Battle of Domstadtl, Frederick abandoned the siege and was forced to abandon all of his artillery pieces. He later withdrew from Moravia.
