The Short Titles Act 1892 (55 & 56 Vict c 10) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It authorised the citation of earlier Acts by short titles and collective titles. It is replaced by the Short Titles Act 1896.

The statutes which were given short titles by this Act were passed between 1351 and 1881.^[4]

The Bill for this Act was described as "a very useful measure".^[5]^[6] Courtney Ilbert said that the Act proved useful both by facilitating reference to statutes and by reducing the length and cost of legal documents that involved references to statutes.^[7]
