The siege of Hubat was a military campaign carried out by Abu Bakr ibn Muhammad, sultan of Adal Sultanate, against the Hubat principality.[1][2]

The siege lasted more than a week in which Hubat leader Garad Umar Din would lose his life, resulting in a victory for Sultan Abu Bakr.[3] However according to sixteenth century Adal writer Arab Faqīh, the future leader of Adal, Ahmad ibn Ibrahim al-Ghazi evaded capture.[4]
