This is a list of acts of the Parliament of England for the year 1666.

For acts passed during the period 1707–1800, see the list of acts of the Parliament of Great Britain. See also the list of acts of the Parliament of Scotland, the list of acts of the Parliament of Ireland to 1700, and the list of acts of the Parliament of Ireland, 1701–1800.

For acts passed from 1801 onwards, see the list of acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. For acts of the devolved parliaments and assemblies in the United Kingdom, see the list of acts of the Scottish Parliament, the list of acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly, and the list of acts and measures of Senedd Cymru; see also the list of acts of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.

For medieval statutes, etc. that are not considered to be acts of Parliament, see the list of English statutes.

The number shown after each act's title is its chapter number. Acts are cited using this number, preceded by the year(s) of the reign during which the relevant parliamentary session was held; thus the Union with Ireland Act 1800 is cited as "39 & 40 Geo. 3 c. 67", meaning the 67th act passed during the session that started in the 39th year of the reign of George III and which finished in the 40th year of that reign. Note that the modern convention is to use Arabic numerals in citations (thus "41 Geo. 3" rather than "41 Geo. III"). Acts of the last session of the Parliament of Great Britain and the first session of the Parliament of the United Kingdom are both cited as "41 Geo. 3". Likewise, the names "Charles" and "James" (traditionally abbreviated "Car." and "Jac.", after the Latinised forms Carolus and Jacobi) are abbreviated in modern practice as "Cha." and "Ja." respectively.

Note that although Charles II's reign began de facto with the Restoration in 1660, it was considered to have begun de jure in 1649 with the execution of Charles I; as such, the earliest act of Charles II is assigned the regnal year 12 Cha. 2.

Acts passed by the Parliament of England did not have a short title; however, some of these acts have subsequently been given a short title by acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (such as the Short Titles Act 1896).

Acts passed by the Parliament of England were deemed to have come into effect on the first day of the session in which they were passed. Because of this, the years given in the list below may in fact be the year before a particular act was passed.

18 & 19 Cha. 2

The sixth session and the first part of the seventh session of the 2nd Parliament of King Charles II (the 'Cavalier Parliament') which met from 21 September 1666 until 8 February 1667, and then from 10 October 1667 until 19 December 1667.

Public acts

  • cc. 1–5 are from the sixth session of the Cavalier Parliament (21 September 1666 – 8 February 1667)
  • cc. 6–13 are from the seventh session of the Cavalier Parliament (10 October 1667 – 19 December 1667)

Label given as "18 & 19 Car. 2" (18 & 19 Cha. 2) in The Statutes of the Realm, and separately as "18 Car. 2" (18 Cha. 2) and "19 Car. 2" (19 Cha. 2) in Ruffhead-Pickering The Statutes at Large. Equivalences: 18 & 19 Cha. 2 (cc. 1–5) = 18 Cha. 2 (cc. 1–5); 18 & 19 Cha. 2 (cc. 6–13) = 19 Cha. 2 (1–8).[1]
