De belegering van Ath in de Oostenrijkse Nederlanden door een Franse leger onder Moritz van Saksen vond plaats in september/oktober 1745. In de veldtocht van 1744 kreeg maarschalk Moritz van Saksen de opdracht om met een leger van 90.000 man de Nederlandse vestinggordel in Vlaanderen te doorbreken; het doel was om Tournai, Gent, Brugge, Ath en Mons te veroveren. In juni 1745 capituleerde Tournai, waarmee de oversteek over de Schelde verzekerd was. Daarna vielen Gent op 15 juli, Oudenaarde, Dendermonde, Oostende en Nieuwpoort.
