The Militia Act 1786 (26 Geo. 3. c. 107) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain that consolidated acts relating to the Militia of Great Britain.
The act was noted by William Blackstone as going further than previous militia acts by providing the power of the Sovereign to shorten the prorogation of Parliament in case of certain emergencies.
