The Criminal Statutes Repeal Act 1861 (24 & 25 Vict. c. 95) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that repealed for England and Wales and Ireland enactments relating to the English criminal law from 1634 to 1860. The act was intended, in particular, to facilitate the preparation of a revised edition of the statutes.
The act was one of the Criminal Law Consolidation Acts 1861, which consolidated, repealed and replaced a large number of existing statutes.
