The Disorderly Houses Act 1751 (25 Geo 2 c 36)[3] is an Act of the Parliament of the Kingdom of Great Britain. It made provision in relation to disorderly houses.

Section 1 was repealed by the Statute Law Revision act 1867.

Sections 5 to 7 were repealed by section 34(1) of, and Schedule 2 to, the Administration of Justice Act 1965.

Section 8

Immediately before its repeal this section read:

And whereas, by reason of the many subtle and crafty contrivances of persons keeping bawdy-houses, . . . , or other disorderly houses, it is difficult to prove who is the real owner or keeper thereof, by which means many notorious offenders have escaped punishment any person who shall at any time hereafter appear, act, or behave him or herself as master or mistress, or as the person having the care, government, or management of any bawdy-house, . . . , or other disorderly house, shall be deemed and taken to be the keeper thereof, and shall be liable to be prosecuted and punished as such, notwithstanding he or she shall not in fact be the real owner or keeper thereof.[4]

The words omitted were repealed by section 15 of, and Part I of Schedule 6 to, the Betting and Gaming Act 1960.

From 2003 until its repeal, this Act did not apply in relation to relevant premises within the meaning of section 159 of the Licensing Act 2003.[5]

Offences under this section were triable either way by virtue of the Magistrates' Courts Act 1980, section 17 and Schedule 1, paragraph 2.

Section 9 was repealed by the Statute Law Revision Act 1867.

Section 10 was repealed by section 56(4) of, and Part IV of Schedule 11 to, the Courts Act 1971.
