The Battle of the Gulf of Cádiz was a naval action which occurred on 7 August 1604. The battle took place when a flotilla of two galleons commanded by Antonio de Oquendo engaged two English corsairs in the service of the Barbary States who were plundering shipping lanes and villages from Galicia to the Gulf of Cádiz. One of the English ships was captured and the other damaged. Oquendo's action off Cádiz was fought days before the signing of the Treaty of London, which ended the protracted war between England and Spain.
