The Barbed Wire Act 1893 (56 & 57 Vict. c. 32) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
The act provided that where barbed wire was placed adjoining a highway in such a manner as to pose a danger to people or animals using the highway, then the local authority was empowered to demand its removal; if the owner of the wire failed to remove it, the council could apply for a court order, and if this failed it was empowered to remove the wire and charge any expenses to the owner.
The whole act was repealed by section 312(2) of, and the twenty-fifth schedule to, the Highways Act 1959 (7 & 8 Eliz. 2. c. 25), which came into force on 1 January 1960.
