The Royal Mines Act 1424 is the earliest Act of the Scots Parliament still in force.

It was passed at the Parliament at Perth on 26 May 1424 in the reign of James I of Scotland, and provided that, if any gold or silver deposits were found in Scotland, the resulting mines would be the possession of the King, "as is usual in other realmys".
