Truce of Deulino (also known as Peace or Treaty of Dywilino), was signed in 11th December 1618 and concluded the Dymitriad wars (also known as Polish-Muscovy War of 1605-1618) between the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and Muscovy. The Truce gave the Commonwealth control over some conquered territories, including the city of Smolensk (Smoleńsk Voivodship) and Czernichów Voivodship and proclaimed a 14 and a half year truce. Wladyslaw, son of Commonwealth king Sigismund III Waza, refused to relinquish his claim to the Russian throne, even though his father had already done so.

Territories gained by Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth are marked with pink on the above map. Much of those territories, including the city of Smolensk, used to belong to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania before they were captured by Muscovy in the 16th century and thus due to the the Truce of Deuline were regained by the GDL for several decades.

In 1632 the Truce of Deulino expired, and hostilities were immediately resumed in the course of a conflict known as the Smolensk War, which ended in the Treaty of Polanów in 1635.
