The siege of Nargund took place in 1778 when troops from the Sultanate of Mysore attempted to capture the town of Nargund, a possession of the Maratha Empire. Hyder Ali defeated Marathas and captured Nargund. Hyder Ali kept its Brahmin ruler, Vyankatrao Bhave, as the ruler of Nargund as long as he paid an annual tribute.
