The Statute Law Revision Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 14) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Cotton said this Act is the twenty-second Statute Law Revision Act.[3]

This Act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010.[4]

This Act was retained for the Republic of Ireland by section 2(2)(a) of, and Part 4 of Schedule 1 to, the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.

Section 4(1) of Imperial Laws Application Act 1988 (No 112) provides that this Act is not part of the laws of New Zealand.

The enactments which were repealed (whether for the whole or any part of the United Kingdom) by this Act were repealed so far as they extended to the Isle of Man[5] on 25 July 1991.[6]

Section 3 of the Statute Law Revision Act 1898 provided that the second part of the Schedule to that Act was to be substituted for so much of this Act as related to the Record of Title Act (Ireland) 1865, and that this Act was to be read and construed as if the part so substituted had originally been enacted as part of this Act.

As to the construction of this Act, see Cairney v Wright (1908).[7]
