The Uniform Arbitration Act was a United States act from 1955 which specified arbitration in the United States law.

The act was drafted as a model arbitration statute to allow each U.S. state to adopt a uniform law of arbitration, instead of having each state enact a unique arbitration statute.
The act was updated by the Uniform Law Commission in the year 2000.
[2] Thirty-five states have adopted some version of the Uniform Arbitration Act.
