The Forgery Act 1837 (7 Will 4 & 1 Vict c 84) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It has been repealed. Section 1 abolished the death penalty for the offences mentioned in the preamble. It provided instead that a person convicted of any of those offences was liable to be transported for life, or for a term not less than seven years, or to be imprisoned for a term not exceeding four years and not less than two years. Section 3 provided that persons convicted of offences made punishable by imprisonment could be kept to hard labour and solitary confinement.
