The Commons Registration Act 1965 (c. 64) is an act of Parliament in the United Kingdom enacted in 1965 that concerns the registration of rights to common land, town greens, and village greens in England and Wales.[1][2] The legislation under the Harold Wilson government made reference to the Land Registration Act 1925 and Land Registration Act 1936.

The Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 and the Commons Act 2006, which gave new opportunities to register greens, amended the act.[3]
