The Blockade of Maastricht of 1814 was a military blockade of the then French fortified city Maastricht by the allied troops led by General Bernadotte. The blockade took place from late January to early May 1814 during the War of the Sixth Coalition between France and the other European powers, ending on May 5 of that year with the capitulation of Maastricht and the departure of the French.
