The Third Ottoman Siege of Caffa took place in June 1475. This military operation was part of the Crimean Campaign of 1475 which aimed to bring the southern part of the peninsula under direct Ottoman control. Caffa, which was besieged both by sea and land by the Ottoman army under the command of Gedik Ahmed Pasha, surrendered after resisting for several days.
