The Organic Statute of Macau (Portuguese: Estatuto Orgânico de Macau, EOM; Chinese: 澳門組織章程) was a Portuguese organic law (Law No. 1/76) that provided for government in Portuguese Macau. Approved on 17 February 1976, the Portuguese legislation also reclassified Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration" (território chinês sob administração portuguesa).
The organic statute was successively amended by Law No. 53/79 of 14 September 1979, Law No. 13/90 of 10 May 1990, and Law No. 23-A/96 of 29 July 1996.
On December 20, 1999, the organic statute ceased to have effect following the implementation of the Macau Basic Law, as the territory became a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China.
