The General Command of Maynas[a] was a governorate and general command of the Spanish Empire.

The territory was created through the real cédula of July 15, 1802,[5] which transferred the governorates of Maynas and Quijos (excluding the village of Papallacta) into the Viceroyalty of Peru.[6] It was incorporated into the Protectorate of Peru as a department with the name of Quijos and Maynas[7] following a war for the territory's independence that lasted from 1821 to 1822, during the Spanish American wars of independence.[1] The aforementioned department was ultimately incorporated into the Department of La Libertad in 1825.[1]

After the wars of independence in Ecuador and Peru, the zone became extremely relevant for both countries, as it was a main focus of the Ecuadorian–Peruvian territorial dispute, which continued until the signing of the Brasilia Presidential Act in 1998.
