The Statute Law Revision Act 1873 (36 & 37 Vict. c. 91) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

This Act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010. ^[3]

The enactments which were repealed (whether for the whole or any part of the United Kingdom) by this Act were repealed so far as they extended to the Isle of Man ^[4] on 25 July 1991.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

The Preamble, and the Schedule, to this Act were repealed by section 1 of, and Part 1 of the Schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1898 (61 & 62 Vict c 22).

Section 2 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1874 provided that the 55 Geo 3 c 91, which had been repealed by this Act, was revived, so far as it related to the county of the city of Dublin.

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1875 provided that section 25 of the 9 Geo 4 c 58, which had been repealed by this Act, was revived, as from the repeal thereof, and that all proceedings taken thereunder since that repeal were as valid and effectual as if that section had not been repealed.

This Act was amended by section 2 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1878.
