Venetian Dalmatia (Latin: Dalmatia Veneta) refers to parts of Dalmatia under the rule of the Republic of Venice, mainly from the 16th to the 18th centuries. The first possessions were acquired around 1000, but Venetian Dalmatia was fully consolidated from 1420 and lasted until 1797 when the republic disappeared with Napoleon's conquests.
The Republic of Venice had possessions in the Balkans and in the eastern Mediterranean sea, like the Venetian Albania in the Adriatic Sea and the Venetian Ionian Islands in western Greece. Those in Dalmatia were located from the Istria peninsula until what is actual coastal Montenegro: all the Dalmatian islands and the mainland territories from central Velebit mountains to the northern borders of the Republic of Ragusa. With the 1718 Treaty of Passarowitz Venice enlarged for the last time the possessions in Dalmatia: it made some small advances, taking the areas of Segna, Imotski and Vrgorac in the Dalmatian hinterland.
