A blockade is a military or political action that prevents supplies, people, or goods from entering or leaving a place, typically by controlling access routes. Blockades have been used in major historical conflicts—such as during the American Civil War and the Soviet blockade of Berlin in 1948—to pressure an opposing side into surrender or submission.

封鎖（英語：Blockade，BLOC），或譯為阻絕、軍事封鎖等。為國際法及武裝衝突法概念。後被轉用於軍事，現代也用於資訊安全等其他方面。 封鎖的目的，在以運用各種軍事手段圍困敵國的交通、運輸與補給，以切斷其經濟，消滅敵人的意志。在過去，被視為是攻城戰的其中一種方式；現在除了陸上和海上封鎖外，空中封鎖、通信封鎖（如切斷海底網路電纜）也是封鎖手段之一。 軍事封鎖不一定具有國際法效力，如中國抗日戰爭時大日本帝國對中華民國的封鎖，但禁運和經濟制裁則具備。
