The Crown and Parliament Recognition Act 1689 (2 Will. & Mar. c. 1) was an act of the Parliament of England, passed in April 1690 but backdated to the start of the parliamentary session, which started on 20 March 1690. It was designed to confirm the succession to the throne of King William III and Queen Mary II of England and to confirm the validity of the laws passed by the Convention Parliament which had been irregularly convened following the Glorious Revolution and the end of James II's reign.

The act is still wholly in force in England and Wales (as of 2025).
