Omleiringa av Bouchain (9. august - 12. september 1711), etter passasjen av Ne Plus Ultra-linjene (5. august 1711), var ei omleiring under den spanske arvefølgjekrigen og den siste store sigeren til John Churchill, 1. hertug av Marlborough. Marlborough braut gjennom den franske forsvarslinja utan å tape ein mann i kamp, og tok Bouchain etter ei 34 dagar lang kringsetjing. Etter å ha teke denne byen låg berre festninga Cambrai mellom den allierte armeen og Paris.

This in turn gave place to the famous tricolour."
