The Aliens Act 1793 (33 Geo. 3. c. 4) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain regulating immigration into the country, in relation with the question of the French Emigration during the Revolution.
Introduced into the House of Lords by Lord Grenville on 19 December 1792, the act was given high priority during the parliamentary session. Despite the concerns of the opposition party, the act became law on 8 January 1793.
