The Municipal Corporations Act 1882 (45 & 46 Vict. c. 50) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that replaced existing legislation governing municipal boroughs in England and Wales, and gave the corporations powers to make bylaws and to acquire land and buildings. Municipal boroughs continued to be regulated by the act until their abolition in 1974. Parts of the act are still in operation. Sections 190 to 194 were amongst the enactments cited as the Police Acts 1839 to 1893.
