The blockade or encirclement of Belgrade refers to the Serbian rebel blockade of Belgrade, the capital of the Sanjak of Smederevo (or "Belgrade Pashalik"), initially in the hands of the Dahije (renegade Janissaries) that had wrested the power in the province, and then against the Ottoman Empire itself, during the First Serbian Uprising. It included a range of skirmishes in the years of 1804–1806, culminating in the assault and final siege of Belgrade.
