The '''Organic Statute of Macau''' ({{langx|pt|Estatuto Orgânico de Macau}}, '''EOM'''; {{zh|first=t|t=澳門組織章程}}) was a Portuguese [[organic law]] (Law No. 1/76) that provided for government in [[Portuguese Macau]]. Approved on 17 February 1976, the [[Portugal|Portuguese]] legislation also reclassified Macau as a "Chinese territory under Portuguese administration" (''território chinês sob administração portuguesa'').
The organic statute was successively amended by Law No. 53/79 of 14 September 1979, Law No. 13/90 of 10 May 1990, and Law No. 23-A/96 of 29 July 1996.
On December 20, 1999, the organic statute ceased to have effect following the implementation of the [[Macau Basic Law]], as the territory became a [[Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China|special administrative region]] of the [[People's Republic of China]].
