The siege of Virovitica was one of the first battles of the Croatian–Slavonian theater during the Great Turkish War. The siege took place in July 1684, and it ended with the Ottoman garrison's surrender and Habsburg-Croatian capture of Virovitica. Due to its capture in the early phase of the war, the town became a vital Habsburg base for further operations in Slavonia.
