The Pretoria Convention was the peace treaty that ended the First Boer War (16 December 1880 until 23 March 1881) between the Transvaal Boers and the United Kingdom, which was signed by the South African Republic forces and the British forces. It ended the first war and was signed in Pretoria on 3 August, 1881. Under this agreement, the South African Republic regained self-government under nominal British suzerainty.

This Convention was superseded in 1884 by the London Convention.
