The Habeas Corpus Suspension Act 1799 (39 Geo. III, c. 15) was an Act of Parliament passed by the Parliament of Great Britain. 
The Act renewed the suspension of "habeas corpus" from 9 January 1799 until 21 May 1799. "Habeas corpus" was again suspended on 20 May 1799 (39 Geo. III, c. 44) until 1 March 1800.
