The Sino-Portuguese Treaty of Peking was an unequal treaty signed on 1 December 1887 between the Kingdom of Portugal and the Qing dynasty. Regarded by China as one of the unequal treaties concluded following the Second Opium War, it granted Portugal perpetual colonial rights over Macau in exchange for its cooperation in curbing the smuggling of opium.
