This is an incomplete list of Acts of the Parliament of Great Britain for the years 1760-1779. For acts passed prior to 1707 see List of Acts of Parliament of the English Parliament and List of Acts of Parliament of the Scottish Parliament.

For Acts of the Scottish Parliament passed since the establishment of the modern version in 1999 also see the list of Acts of Parliament of the Scottish Parliament. For Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly see List of Acts of the Northern Ireland Assembly and for Acts of the Northern Ireland Parliament see List of Acts of the Northern Ireland Parliament.

The numbers after the titles of the acts are the chapter numbers. Acts before 1962 are referenced using 'Year of reign', 'Monarch', c., 'Chapter number' — e.g. 16 Charles II c. 2 — to define a chapter of the appropriate statute book. Since 1962, the regnal year has been replaced by the calendar year. All recent Acts have a short title, or citation (e.g. Local Government Act 2003, National Health Service Act 1974).

For Acts passed prior to the Acts of Parliament (Commencement) Act 1793, the year after the Act name is in accordance with the previous law in which Acts came into effect on the first day of the session in which they were passed, and therefore may be the year before they were actually passed through Parliament.
