The Victoria (London) Docks Act 1853 (16 & 17 Vict. c. cxxxi) is a local act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that consolidated and amended the provisions of an earlier act incorporating the Victoria (London) Dock Company, and authorised the company to construct additional docks and works in connection with the Victoria (London) Docks on the north bank of the River Thames in West Ham.

Subsequent developments In 1864 the Victoria (London) Dock Company was amalgamated with the London Dock Company and the St Katharine Dock Company to form the London and St Katharine Docks Company, which went on to build the adjoining Royal Albert Dock as an extension of the Victoria Dock. The London and St Katharine Docks Company in turn merged with the East and West India Dock Company on 1 January 1901 to form the London and India Docks Company. The undertaking of the London and India Docks Company, together with those of the Surrey Commercial Dock Company and the Millwall Dock Company, was transferred to the newly established Port of London Authority under the Port of London Act 1908 (8 Edw. 7. c. 68), with effect from 31 March 1909.
