The Convention of Pardo was a 1739 draft treaty between Britain and Spain. Signed by the negotiators on 14 January 1739, it was rejected by the British Parliament and never ratified, leading to the outbreak of the War of Jenkins' Ear on 23 October 1739.
The terms included compensation for alleged commercial losses incurred by British and Spanish merchants, and a Commission to settle boundaries in North America between Spanish Florida and the recently established British Province of Georgia.
