The Statute Law Revision Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict. c. 19) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed various United Kingdom enactments which had ceased to be in force or had become necessary. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of the new edition of the revised edition of the statutes, then in progress.

The act was the first Statute Law Revision Act to be committed to the Joint Committee for consideration of Statute Law Revision Bills, a procedure designed to increase the accuracy of such bills.[1]

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision (No. 2) Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 54) 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 (19 & 20 Vict. c. 88).

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1894 (57 & 58 Vict. c. 56) 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 (51 & 52 Vict. c. 57) as related to the Small Debt (Scotland) Act 1837 (7 Will. 4 & 1 Vict. c. 41) and to the Burning of Houses (Dublin) Act 1841 (4 & 5 Vict. c. 10), and that "the said Statute Law Revision Acts" were to be read and construed accordingly.
