The Battle of Praga or the Second Battle of Warsaw of 1794, also known in Russian and German as the storming of Praga^[14] (Russian: Штурм Праги) and in Polish as the defense of Praga (Polish: Obrona Pragi), was a Russian assault on Praga, the easternmost community of Warsaw, during the Kościuszko Uprising in 1794. It was followed by a massacre (known as the Massacre of Praga^[g]) of the civilian population of Praga.

Praga was a suburb ("Faubourg") of Warsaw, lying on the right bank of the Vistula river. In 1794 it was well fortified and was better strengthened than the western part of the capital, located on the left bank of the Vistula.^[16] Historian and professor Friedrich Christoph Schlosser labelled Praga as "the key to Warsaw".^[5]
