The '''siege of Groenlo''' was a siege of [[Groenlo]] or Grol in 1606 during the [[Dutch Revolt]]. It lasted from 3 to 14 August 1606 and ended in the city being captured from the [[Dutch Republic|United Provinces]] by a [[Spanish Empire]] force under [[Ambrosio Spinola]]. A few months later [[Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange|Prince Maurice]] attempted to retake the city but failed due to poor planning and an intervention by Spinola. Groenlo would remain in Spanish hands [[Siege of Groenlo (1627)|until another siege in 1627]].<br />
