The Pharmacy Act 1852 (15 & 16 Vict. c. 56) was an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom which was the first legislation in the United Kingdom to regulate pharmacists and druggists.
It set up a register of pharmacists and limited the use of the title to people registered with the Pharmaceutical Society, but proposals to give the society exclusive rights to sell drugs or poisons were rejected. It did not provide a legal definition for the trade and practice of pharmacy.
The whole act was repealed by section 25(2) of, and the fourth schedule to, the Pharmacy Act 1954 (2 & 3 Eliz. 2. c. 61), which came into force on 25 December 1954.
