The '''Convention of London of 1840''' was a [[treaty]] with the title of ''Convention for the Pacification of the [[Levant]]'', signed on 15 July 1840 between the Great Powers of [[United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland|United Kingdom]], [[Austrian Empire|Austria]], [[Kingdom of Prussia|Prussia]], [[Russian Empire|Russia]] on the one hand, and the [[Ottoman Empire]] on the other. The Convention lent some support to the Ottoman Empire, which was having difficulties with its Egyptian possessions.
 
Because [[Muhammad Ali of Egypt]] did not accept the terms of the convention, the [[Oriental Crisis of 1840]] resulted. Thus, Muhammad Ali finally had to accept the convention on 27 November 1840.
