The Statutory Instruments Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 36) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which governs the making of statutory instruments.

Until 2011 the act also governed Scottish statutory instruments made under acts of the Scottish Parliament. Until 2026, the act also governed Welsh statutory instruments made under acts of Senedd Cymru, acts of the National Assembly for Wales, and measures of the National Assembly for Wales.

The Statutory Rules (Northern Ireland) Order 1979 provides a similar function for acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland and acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly.
