The shortest crusade was the Fourth Crusade (1202-1204), which deviated from its original goal of recapturing Jerusalem and instead resulted in the conquest of Constantinople.

The crusade lasted about two years, but much of that time was spent in negotiations and preparations rather than actual military engagements.
