The post of Surveyor General of the Land Revenues of the Crown was an office under the English (later the United Kingdom) Crown, charged with the management of Crown lands. In 1810, by the Crown Lands Act 1810 (50 Geo. 3. c. 65), later amended by the Crown Lands Act 1829 (10 Geo. 4. c. 50), the functions of the post were merged with those of the Surveyor General of Woods, Forests, Parks, and Chases and became the responsibility of a new body, the Commissioners of Woods, Forests and Land Revenues.
