The Statute Law Revision Act 1863 (26 & 27 Vict. c. 125) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for England and Wales statutes from the 1235 to 1685 which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of a revised edition of the statutes.

The act was largely mirrored by the Statute Law Revision (Ireland) Act 1872 (35 & 36 Vict. c. 98), which repealed for Ireland statutes from the Magna Carta until 1495 that were extended to Ireland by the passage of Poynings' Act 1495.
