The '''Clemenceau–Lloyd George Agreement''' of December 1918 was a verbal agreement between British and French Prime Ministers [[David Lloyd George]] and [[Georges Clemenceau]] which modified the 1916 [[Sykes–Picot Agreement]] in respect to the [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] and the [[Mosul Vilayet]]. The latter component is also known as the '''Mosul cession'''. The agreement took place at the [[Embassy of France, London|French Embassy in London]].<ref name="Hughes2013"></ref>

The agreement was controversial because the French did not appear to have gained any substantial changes from Britain in return for their concessions of Mosul and Palestine.<ref name="Hughes2013"/>
