The Blasphemy Act 1695 (c. 11) was an act of the Parliament of Scotland, passed on 28 June 1695.
The act reaffirmed the earlier Blasphemy Act 1661[1] [2] (c. 216) and was brought into use in a campaign in 1696 against those regarded as promoting Deism or Atheism.[3] Both Acts were specified in the indictment which led to the execution of Thomas Aikenhead.[4]
The act was repealed in 1813 under the Doctrine of the Trinity Act 1813 (53 Geo. 3. c. 160).[5]
