The Curtesy Act (Irish: an tAcht Córtais) is an act passed by the Parliament of Ireland in 1226, during the reign of Henry III as Lord of Ireland.[1][2]

It governed courtesy tenure in the Lordship of Ireland, i.e. the life interest which a widower may claim in the lands of his deceased wife. It was repealed by the Succession Act 1965 passed by Dáil Éireann.
