The Police Act 1909 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom, granted royal assent on 25 November 1909.

Despite its short title, it applied solely to the Metropolitan Police and is most notable for adding a fourth Assistant Commissioner (Section 3) and in the aftermath of a married Met PC's death in the Tottenham Outrage earlier that year increased pensions and allowances to widows and children of officers killed on duty (Section 5).
