Salutary Neglect refers to an English policy towards its American colonies from the early seventeenth to the late eighteenth centuries. The idea was to let the colonies act relatively freely and flourish without being too much restricted by the laws of the British Crown.

An example of the laws which were not enforced in the colonies is the Navigation Acts, which would have the colonists make commerce with England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland only.
