El Acuerdo Sazonov-Paléologue fue una carta escrita el 26 de abril de 1916 del Ministro de Asuntos Exteriores ruso, Sergey Sazonov, hacia el embajador francés en Rusia, Maurice Paléologue, sobre Armenia occidental y el Acuerdo anglo-francés Sykes-Picot . El acuerdo sobre la influencia de Rusia sobre la Armenia occidental se dio a cambio del consentimiento ruso al acuerdo Sykes-Picot.[1][2]​ El acuerdo tuvo lugar durante el primer aniversario del Tratado de Londres.[3]

A Rusia se le asignaron las provincias (vilayets) de Erzurum, Trebisonda, Bitlis y Van;[4]​ gran parte del territorio el cual estaba bajo ocupación rusa en ese momento.[3]
