The Law of Property Act 1925 (15 & 16 Geo. 5. c. 20) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It forms part of an interrelated programme of legislation introduced by Lord Chancellor Lord Birkenhead between 1922 and 1925 that was intended to modernise the English law of real property. It is often referred to as the LPA 1925.

The act, as amended, provides the core of modern English land law, particularly as regards many aspects of freehold land which is itself an important consideration in all other types of interest in land.
