Prussia, Austria, and Saxony signed the Treaty of Hubertusburg on 15 February 1763 at Hubertusburg Castle, ending the Third Silesian War.

The treaty was signed on 15 February 1763 at Hubertusburg Castle, described in one account as a hunting lodge between Dresden and Leipzig. The signatories were Prussia, Austria, and Saxony. The settlement ended the Third Silesian War, the European conflict centred on Austria's attempt to recover Silesia. Under its terms, Glatz was returned to Prussia in exchange for the Prussian evacuation of Saxony. Together with the Treaty of Paris, signed five days earlier, it marked the end of the Seven Years' War.
