The Iglesias law or Ley Iglesias issued on 11 April 1857, is named after Liberal politician José María Iglesias and is one of the Reform laws of the Liberal reform in Mexico. Its aim was to regulate the cost of ecclesiastical fees for Catholic sacraments. Liberal politician Melchor Ocampo has raised this issue publicly in 1850, criticizing the Catholic Church for impoverishing Mexican peasants who could not afford the fees. The Catholic Church and its conservative supporters saw the Iglesias law as another piece of anticlerical legislation that diminished its power. Other laws had removed the church from its former role in recording births, marriages, and deaths as baptisms, wedding banns, holy matrimony, and burials in which priests were owed fees and created a civil registry.

Other laws had removed the church from its former role in recording births, marriages, and deaths as baptisms, wedding banns, holy matrimony, and burials in which priests were owed fees and created a civil registry. Ecclesiastical fees were a key financial support for parish priests, who were generally of modest means. Nonetheless, the church and its conservative supporters saw the Iglesias law as an attack on the church as an institution and denounced it as "illegal and immoral" and refused to comply with it. The law mandated penalties of exacting fees from poor peasants, defined as persons earning the minimum for survival. The fees were often paid by the owners of landed estates haciendas, and the costs added to a peasant's indebtedness (debt-servitude or (en)
- La Ley Iglesias se expidió el 11 de abril de 1857. Este ordenamiento formó parte del primer grupo de leyes liberales que Ignacio Comonfort, quien había sustituido a Juan Álvarez en la presidencia de la República, expidió antes de estallar a finales de 1857 la Guerra de Tres Años o de Reforma. La Ley de Obvenciones Parroquiales, también conocida como Ley Iglesias por la autoría de José María Iglesias (ministro de Justicia, Negocios Eclesiásticos e Instrucción Pública) entre enero y mayo de 1857, fue una de las más importantes Leyes de Reforma. Regulaba el cobro de derechos parroquiales, impidiendo que se exigieran a quienes no ganaran más de lo indispensable para vivir, e imponía castigos a los miembros del clero que no la llevaran a cabo. La Ley Iglesias desató diversas críticas: entre la prensa liberal fue bien acogida, mientras que los conservadores y el clero la hicieron objeto de censuras y protestas. Con estas leyes se afectaba el poder de la Iglesia católica, que por más de tres siglos había tenido en México participación en asuntos que los liberales consideraban "ajenos a la fe cristiana". (es)
