The Statute Law (Ireland) Revision Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 98) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which repealed for Ireland statutes acts of the Parliament of England which had been extended to the then Lordship of Ireland by royal writs or acts of the Parliament of Ireland from the Magna Carta to Poynings' Law (1495). The act was intended, in particular, to make the revised edition of the statutes already published applicable to Ireland.

The act largely mirrored the Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125), which repealed for England and Wales enactments from the Magna Carta to King James II.
