The Simony Act 1588 (31 Eliz 1 c 6) is an Act of the Parliament of England.

The Act stipulates penalties for simony, an offence under the ecclesiastical law of the Church of England.

{{As of|2008}}, it remains largely in force in England and Wales.

This Act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010.[3]

Under section 4, an unlawfully bestowed office can be declared void by the Crown, and the offender can be disabled from making future appointments and fined up to £1,000.[4] Clergy are no longer required to make a declaration as to simony on ordination but offences are now likely to be dealt with as "misconduct" under the Clergy Discipline Measure 2003,[5] r.8.[6]
