The Statute Law Revision Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict. c. 19) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. The Bill for this Act was the Statute Law Revision Bill 1892.[3]

This Act was repealed for the United Kingdom by Group 1 of Part IX of Schedule 1 to the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1998.

The enactments which were repealed (whether for the whole or any part of the United Kingdom) by this Act were repealed so far as they extended to the Isle of Man[4] on 25 July 1991.[5]

This Act was retained for the Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision (No. 2) Act 1893 provided that the Second Schedule to that Act was to be substituted for so much of this Act as related to the Cambridge University Act 1856.

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1894 provided that the Second Schedule to that Act was to be substituted for so much of this Act and of the Statute Law Revision (No. 2) Act 1888 as related to the Small Debt (Scotland) Act 1837 and to the 4 & 5 Vict c 10, and that "the said Statute Law Revision Acts" were to be read and construed accordingly.
