The Montenegro campaign was a campaign launched in 1714 by the Ottoman Empire against the Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro, an Ottoman vassal state that had been intermittently rebelling against Turkish rule since 1710. The leadership of the campaign was entrusted to the Beylerbey of Bosnia, Köprülüzade Numan Pasha.
With the Ottomans having successfully suppressed the rebellion and restored their rule over the lands, Montenegro's rebellious leader Danilo I escaped to and sought refuge in the Republic of Venice. The Venetians rejected the extradition request of the Turks, which was one of the main reasons for why the Seventh Ottoman-Venetian War had begun.
