The Welsh Church Act 1914 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom under which the Welsh part of the Church of England was separated and disestablished. The Act was a controversial measure, and was passed by the House of Commons under the provisions of the Parliament Act 1911.
Owing to the intervention of the First World War, the Act did not come into force until 31 March 1920, when the Welsh part of the Church of England become the Church in Wales, an independent province of the Anglican Communion, with six dioceses lead by the Archbishop of Wales.
