This list of eponymous laws provides links to articles on laws, adages, and other succinct observations or predictions named after a person. (It does not refer to eponymous statutes such as Laura's Law.) In some cases the person named has coined the law – such as Parkinson's law. In others, the work or publications of the individual have led to the law being so named – as is the case with Moore's law. There are also laws ascribed to individuals by others, such as Murphy's law; or given eponymous names despite the absence of the named person.
