The second siege of Girona was the second unsuccessful French attempt to capture the city of Girona (spelled "Gerona" in Castilian) during the Peninsular War, part of the Napoleonic Wars.[3]

General Duhesme's siege operations were interrupted by the Count of Caldagues's attack on 16 August, which ended the siege,[4] leaving behind a considerable amount of materiel and provisions.
