The Treaty of Coche was an agreement that formally established the end of the Federal War in Venezuela.

The name of the treaty originates from the fact that it was made at the estate of Coche, in that period very close to Caracas, and today part of the Parish of Coche in Caracas. The agreement was initially made on April 23, 1863 between Pedro Jose Rojas, Secretary General of the Supreme Chief of the Republic: Jose Antonio Paez, and Antonio Guzman Blanco, Secretary General of the Provisional President of the Federation: Juan Crisostomo Falcon, and later confirmed by both Paez and Falcon on May 25, 1863.
