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.

“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)

Who so list believe;
Trust therefore first, and after preve,
As men wed ladies by license and leave,
All is possible.”
