梅勒战役发生于1745年7月9日，是奥地利王位继承战争的一场战役，盟军与法军之间的一场遭遇战。在丰特努瓦战役战败后，盟军指挥官坎伯兰公爵被要求要求保卫布鲁塞尔。他同时还想保护根特的关键港口，这是法国进军西法兰德斯的重要根据地。

坎伯兰公爵动用了他的主力去掩护布鲁塞尔，同时派出6,000名士兵在汉诺威将军菲利普·毛奇率领下增援根特。在进军途中，它遇到了尼古拉·约瑟夫·朗格拉德（英语：Nicholas Joseph Balthazar de l'Anglade, Vicomte du Chayla）率领的法军，联军在损失惨重的情况下被赶走，最终根特（英语：Fall of Ghent）于7月13日投降。
