The 1838 Treaty of Balta Liman, or the Anglo-Ottoman Treaty, is a formal trade agreement signed between the Sublime Porte of the Ottoman Empire and Great Britain.

These agreements did not constitute an equal free trade arrangement, as Britain still employed protectionist policies on their agricultural markets.
