宪章运动（英语：Chartism）是由1838年到1858年持续二十年发生在英国的一场劳动阶级要求社会·政治改革的群众运动。列宁称之为世界上第一场大规模的劳动阶级运动。

宪章运动之前英国先后经历了一系列政治改革运动，1832年改革法案便是运动的成果之一。但在这些运动中获得了权益的只是富裕的中产阶级，占人口多数劳动阶级仍没有选举权。对此不满的劳动阶级和一部分获得权益不多的中产阶级先后进行了一系列激进运动。

1838年威廉·洛维特（William Lovett）等6名普通劳动者和6名国会议员组成一个委员会，拟定了一份《人民宪章》，提出了以下几点主张：

Chartism was a working-class movement for political reform in Britain which existed from 1838 to 1858. It took its name from the People's Charter of 1838 and was a national protest movement, with particular strongholds of support in Northern England, the East Midlands, the Staffordshire Potteries, the Black Country, and the South Wales Valleys. Support for the movement was at its highest in 1839, 1842, and 1848, when petitions signed by millions of working people were presented to the House of Commons. The strategy employed was to use the scale of support which these petitions and the accompanying mass meetings demonstrated to put pressure on politicians to concede manhood suffrage. Chartism thus relied on constitutional methods to secure its aims, though there were some who became involved in insurrectionary activities, notably in south Wales and Yorkshire.
