The '''Siege of Deeg''' (11–24 December 1804) was a siege of the main fort at [[Deeg]], now in the [[Bharatpur district]] of [[Rajasthan]], [[India]], then within the Bharatpur Kingdom. Forces of the [[British East India Company]], led by General [[Gerard Lake, 1st Viscount Lake|Lake]], captured the fort from its Marathan defenders.<br />
<br />
The siege started on 20 November, the bombardment on 13 December, and a breach made at Shahburz, a salient on the southwest side of the fort, on 23 December. A three-pronged attack took place that night and the Marathas retreated to Bharatpur on the 24th. The British suffered 227 casualties.<ref name=Naravane>{{Cite book |last=Naravane |first=M.S. |title=Battles of the Honorourable East India Company |publisher=A.P.H.
