The current Penal Code of Macau ({{langx|pt|Código Penal de Macau}}) was promulgated in 1995, by Decree-Law no. 58/95/M, after the creation of the High Court of Justice in 1993.{{Cite web |title=Macau |url=http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/353700/Macau/93745/Government-and-society |website=Encyclopedia Britannica}} Prior to 1995, the 1886 Penal Code of Portugal applied to Macau.

Like Hong Kong, criminal law in Macau is different from what is applied in China.
