The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (c. 8) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that created the Financial Services Authority (FSA) as a regulator for insurance, investment business and banking, and the Financial Ombudsman Service to resolve disputes as a free alternative to the courts.

The act was considerably amended by the Financial Services Act 2012 and the Bank of England and Financial Services Act 2016.
