The Leyes de Burgos ("Laws of Burgos"), promulgated on 27 December 1512 in Burgos, Kingdom of Castile (Spain), was the first codified set of laws governing the behavior of Spaniards in the Americas, particularly with regards to the Indigenous peoples of the Americas ('native Caribbean Indians').

The laws were created to avoid the legal problem that had arisen from the conquest and Spanish colonization of the Americas in the West Indies, where the common law of Castile was not applied.
