The Demise of the Crown Act 1901 is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.

It provides that the holding of any office under the Crown shall not be affected, nor shall any fresh appointment thereto be rendered necessary, by the demise of the Crown.

Section 1 (2) provided that the Act took effect retrospectively "as from the last demise of the Crown"; i.e. the death of Queen Victoria. Section 1 (2) was repealed as spent legislation by the Statute Law (Repeals) Act 1973.

In the Republic of Ireland, the Act was repealed in its entirety by the Statute Law Revision Act 2007.
