Fattiglagen även kallad Elizabethan Poor Law var en samling lagar som var till för att hjälpa fattiga människor. Det var de första lagarna som fanns på det området. Lagarna kom till i England under 1563, 1572, 1576 och 1597, men slogs ihop 1601 under tiden då Elizabeth I var regerande drottning. Lagen fick därav namnet Elizabethan Poor Law (1601).

The Poor Relief Act 1601 (43 Eliz 1 c 2) was an Act of the Parliament of England. The Act for the Relief of the Poor 1601, popularly known as the Elizabethan Poor Law, "43rd Elizabeth" or the Old Poor Law was passed in 1601 and created a poor law system for England and Wales. It formalised earlier practices of poor relief distribution in England and Wales and is generally considered a refinement of the Act for the Relief of the Poor 1597 that established Overseers of the Poor. The "Old Poor Law" was not one law but a collection of laws passed between the 16th and 18th centuries. The system's administrative unit was the parish. It was not a centralised government policy but a law which made individual parishes responsible for Poor Law legislation. The 1601 act saw a move away from the more obvious forms of punishing paupers under the Tudor system towards methods of "correction". Several amending pieces of legislation can be considered part of the Old Poor Law. These include:
* 1662 – Poor Relief Act 1662 (Settlement Acts)
* 1723 – Workhouse Test Act
* 1782 – Gilbert's Act
* 1795 – Speenhamland

Fattiglagen även kallad Elizabethan Poor Law var en samling lagar som var till för att hjälpa fattiga människor. Det var de första lagarna som fanns på det området. Lagarna kom till i England under 1563, 1572, 1576 och 1597, men slogs ihop 1601 under tiden då Elizabeth I var regerande drottning. Lagen fick därav namnet Elizabethan Poor Law (1601). Fattiglagen kom till efter reformationen för att människor inte längre kände sig skyldiga att hjälpa mer behövande. Innan dess kände de kristna en moralisk skyldighet att hjälpa till med att bland annat ge de hungriga mat, ge de törstiga något att dricka, ta emot främlingar med öppna armar, skänka kläder till de utan, ta hand om de sjuka, besöka människor i fängelser samt begrava de döda.
