The Siege of Zbarazh (Polish: Zbaraż, Ukrainian: Збараж) was a 1649 battle of the Khmelnytsky Uprising.
The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth forces held their positions besieged in the Zbarazh Castle until in the aftermath of Battle of Zboriv and the Treaty of Zboriv the hostilities paused and the siege ended. These events were described by Henryk Sienkiewicz in his novel With Fire and Sword (1884).
