Royal Titles Act 1901 (1 Edw 7 c 15) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that authorised the alteration of the British monarch's royal style and titles to recognise 'His Majesty's dominions beyond the seas' by way of a Royal Proclamation under the Great Seal.

The Proclamation, issued on 4 November 1901, added the words "and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas" to the royal title in English, and "et terrarum transmarinarum quae in ditione stint Britannicâ" in Latin.
