The Battle of Nantes was a battle between Royalist and Republican French forces at Nantes on 29 June 1793 during the War in the Vendée. It consisted of the siege of that town, and was a Republican victory. Louis Marie Turreau wrote of it:

The Battle of Nantes was one in a series of battles during the War in the Vendee, which was a counterrevolution in the French province of Vendee against the French revolutionaries and lasted from 1793 to 1796. It was one encounter in many between the Vendee rebels and republican troops sent to crush the rebellion.
