The Reserve Forces Act 1900 (63 & 64 Vict. c. 42) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, given royal assent on 6 August 1900 and fully repealed in 1950.

The act amended the Reserve Forces Act 1882 in two ways. Section 1 provided that it was henceforth permissible to call out the second division of the first class of the Army Reserve for active service, regardless of whether or not the first division had been called out. However, no man who had entered the second division before the Act was passed would be liable under this section, without their consent.

Section 2 modified section 10 subsection 4 of the 1882 Act, which dealt with the rank of a militia reservist on his return to the militia, and provided that:

Section 2 of the act was repealed by the Territorial Army and Militia Act 1921, and the residue was repealed by the Army Reserve Act 1950.
