《1708年外交特权法令》（英语：Diplomatic Privileges Act 1708；7 Ann c 12）是英国国会的一项法令，又称《安妮法令》（Act of Anne）或《安妮法规》（Statute of Anne）。（《1710年版权法令》也被称作《安妮法规》，不应与该法令相混淆。）

背景

该法令是由于1708年发生的事件而通过的，当时俄罗斯大使安德烈·马特维耶夫（Andrey Matveyev）被代表其债权人的伦敦执达吏逮捕和监禁。马特维耶夫后获保释，最后在没有出示召回信的情况下离开了英国。为了安抚俄国彼得大帝，该法令获得通过，首次将英国的外交豁免置于法定依据上。

条文

该法令订定，针对大使及其雇员或佣工的所有民事法律程序均无效；另订定，所有提起此类法律程序或企图执行此类法律程序的人应“被视为违反国际法”并受到相应的惩罚。

有人称该法令属宣布普通法（不成文法）之性质，尽管后来的当局对此表示怀疑。

废除

该法令第6条至“pleading and”止的部分由《1887年成文法编正法令（英语：Statute Law Revision Act 1887）》第1条及附表废除。

整部法令由《1964年外交特权法令》第8(4)条及附表2废除。它在某些英联邦司法管辖区可能仍然有效。
