The Offences Against the Person (Ireland) Act 1829 (10 Geo. 4. c. 34), also known as the Offences Against the Person Act (Ireland) 1829, is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated for Ireland provisions in the law related to offences against the person (an expression which, in particular, includes offences of violence) from a number of earlier piecemeal statutes into a single act.

The act included repeals mirroring for Ireland the Offences Against the Person Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4 c. 31), including repealing acts of the Parliament of England extended to Ireland by Poynings' Act 1495.

Similar provision was made for India by the Criminal Law (India) Act 1828 (9 Geo. 4. c. 74).
