The Siege of Rauricon was a siege action of the Gallic Wars which occurred in 58 BC when the Roman general Julius Caesar captured the town of Rauricon (Augst, Switzerland) from the Germanic Suebi tribe.

After conquering Helvetia in the early summer of 58 BC, Julius Caesar set about Romanizing the local Gallic population through the demolition of their cultural buildings in Octoduron (Martigny) and Turicum (Zurich) and the construction of Roman buildings. Additionally, Caesar awaited the replenishment of his ranks, and he hired several additional Gallic mercenaries to bolster his legion's strength. At the same time, the Germanic Suebi hordes rampaged through eastern Gaul, capturing several settlements as they went. Caesar was persuaded by his Gallic allies of the wisdom in stopping the Suebic hordes before they could expand their influence into the rest of Gaul and rival Rome's ambitions in the region. Caesar decided to take advantage of the Suebic armies' absence and march north from Turicum to launch a surprise attack on the Suebic town of Rauricon (Augst), marching his Legio II Iovia through woodlands and attacking Rauricon's 960-strong Suebic garrison. The much larger Roman legion easily captured the town from its smaller garrison of Germans, resulting in war with the Suebi and their Gallic allies, the Vangiones and Nemetes. Within a few weeks, both the Nemetes and the Suebi tribe's enemies, the Sequani, were destroyed, and Rome and the Suebians braced for an inevitable large-scale confrontation, which ultimately occurred at the Battle of Vesontio.
