The Distress for Rent Act 1689 (2 Will. & Mar. c. 5) is an Act of the Parliament of England. Its long title is "An Act for enabling the Sale of Goods distrained for Rent in case the Rent be not paid in a reasonable time."

This Act was partly in force in Great Britain at the end of 2010.[3]

The whole Act is prospectively repealed by sections 86 and 146 of, and paragraph 1 of Schedule 14 to, and Part 4 of Schedule 23 to, the Tribunals, Courts and Enforcement Act 2007. This is consequential on the prospective abolition of distress for rent.
