The Treaty of Delft, also called the Reconciliation of Delft, was signed on July 3, 1428 between Jacob of Bavaria and Philip the Good, count of Flanders and Duke of Burgundy.

The agreement ended hostilities between the kingdom of England and the county of Flanders.

Based on the terms of the agreement, Jacqueline became nominally the countess of Hainaut, but Philip the Good would administer the government of the county of Holland, county of Zeeland, and the county of Hainaut. Moreover, should Jacqueline perish without any offspring to succeed her, Philip the Good would be declared the heir to the throne of the county of Hainaut.
