an act of the British Parliament in 1765 that exacted revenue from the American colonies by imposing a stamp duty on newspapers and legal and commercial documents. Colonial opposition led to the act's repeal in 1766 and helped encourage the revolutionary movement against the Crown.

The Stamp Act, imposed by the British Parliament, required American colonists to purchase stamped paper for various documents and publications. But they had no say in the matter. It was taxation without representation. Colonists were furious. They saw the Stamp Act as an affront to their rights. Protests erupted across the colonies.
