The Nonconformist Relief Act 1779 (19 Geo. 3. c. 44) was act of the Parliament of Great Britain. The act allowed any Dissenter to preach and teach on the condition that he declared he was a Protestant; took the Oaths of Allegiance and supremacy; and took the Scriptures for his rule of faith and practice. It relieved dissenting ministers from the obligation to subscribe to the Thirty-nine Articles.
The Dissenters (Ireland) Act 1817 (57 Geo. 3. c. 70) extended the 1779 act to Ireland.
