The Siege of Lure of 1674 was a military engagement during the Second Conquest of Franche-Comté, involving the town of Lure, a city associated with, but independent of, the County of Burgundy (Franche-Comté). The siege took place from 1 to 3 July 1674 and pitted French forces against the Comtois and Spanish defenders, to whom the town belonged. Lure was the penultimate Comtois town to fall during the definitive French conquest of Franche-Comté.
