This is a list of ordinances and acts of the Parliament of England from 1642 to 1660, during the English Civil War and the Interregnum. As King Charles I of England would not assent to bills from a Parliament at war with him, decrees of Parliament before the Third English Civil War were styled 'ordinances'. The Rump Parliament reverted to using the term 'act' on 6 January 1649 when it passed the Act erecting a High Court of Justice for the trial of the King (when any possibility of reconciliation between King and Parliament was over). All but one subsequent decree were termed 'acts' through to the end of the interregnum. All of these ordinances and acts were considered void after the English Restoration due to their lack of royal assent.
