The Naturalisation Act 1870 (33 & 34 Vict c 14) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It related to the naturalisation and repatriation of non-British subjects as British subjects and the readmission of natural-born British subjects to British nationality after becoming non-British nationals. It repealed several earlier acts in that area, but preserved the earlier process of denization.
