The Damascus Protocol was a document defining the independent Arab territories in the Middle East after the conspired Arab Revolt had taken place.

The document was given to Faisal bin Hussein by Arab secret societies on his second visit to Damascus on mission to Constantinople. The secret societies would support Faisal's father Hussein bin Ali's revolt against the Ottoman Empire, if the demands in the protocol were submitted to the British. These demands then became the conversation in the Hussein-McMahon Correspondence.
