The Hunting Act 2004 is a piece of legislation passed by the UK parliament that bans the hunting of wild mammals with dogs in England and Wales. The law came into effect in February 2005, making it a criminal offence to hunt foxes, deer, hares, and other mammals using dogs. The law did not apply to Scotland, where a similar ban had been in place since 2002.

The Hunting Act makes it an offence to hunt a wild mammal with a dog, and to engage in any activity that facilitates or enables hunting.
