The fall of Berlin took place on 24 October 1806 when the Prussian capital of Berlin was captured by French forces in the aftermath of the Battle of Jena–Auerstedt.

The French Emperor Napoleon entered the city after three days without a fight, from which he issued his Berlin Decree implementing his Continental System. Large-scale plundering of Berlin took place.
