Citation	16 Ric 2 c 5

The Statute of Praemunire (16 Ric 2 c 5) was an Act of the Parliament of England enacted in 1393, during the reign of Richard II. Its intention was to limit the powers of the papacy in England. The word praemunire originally referred to the writ of summons issued against a person accused under this and similar statutes; and later came to mean offences against the statutes.

The whole Chapter was repealed by section 13 of, and Part I of Schedule 4 to, the Criminal Law Act 1967 (this repeal extending to Northern Ireland).

The 16 Ric 2, of which this chapter was part, was repealed for the Republic of Ireland by section 1 of, and Part 2 of the Schedule to, the Statute Law Revision Act 1983.
