The Statute Law (Repeals) Act 2008 (2008 c. 12) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which repeals more than 250 Acts of Parliament in full, and more than 50 in part.

In January 2008 the Law Commission and the Scottish Law Commission jointly published their eighteenth Statute Law Repeals Report, which consisted largely of a draft bill which became this Act. The report recommended the repeal of statute law which the commissions considered "spent, obsolete, unnecessary or otherwise not now of practical utility." [cite web
