The Anglo-Portuguese rivalry in the Persian Gulf was a period of military and commercial competition between the Kingdom of Portugal and the English East India Company. Lasting from 1615 to 1635, the conflict was a theater of the broader hostilities across the Indian Ocean, which began in 1602 and concluded with the Convention of Goa in 1635.
