The Burney Treaty was a treaty signed between Siam and the British in 1826. It acknowledged Siamese claim over the four northern Malay states of Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis and Terengganu. The treaty further guaranteed British ownership of Penang and their rights to trade in Kelantan and Terengganu without the Siamese interference. The four Malay states were not represented in the treaty negotiation.

In 1909, the parties of the agreement signed a new treaty that superseded the 1826 treaty. The 1909 treaty, known as Anglo-Siamese Treaty of 1909, also as Bangkok Treaty of 1909, transferred the four Malay states from Siamese to British dominion.
