Undang-Undang Hak Sipil 1964 (Pub.L. 88-352, 78 Stat. 241, diberlakukan Juli 2, 1964) adalah sebuah hak sipil dan hukum buruh di Amerika Serikat yang mengkriminalisasikan diskriminasi berdasarkan pada ras, warna kulit, agama, jenis kelamin, tempat asal, dan kemudian orirentasi seksual dan identitas gender.[a][1] UU tersebut melarang penerapan tak setara terhadap persyaratan pendaftaran pemilih, pemisahan rasial di sekolah-sekolah dan akomodasi publik, dan diskriminasi pekerjaa. UU tersebut masih merupakan pencapaian legislatif paling signifikan dalam sejarah Amerika Serikat.[2]
^Three Supreme Court rulings in June 2020 confirmed that employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity is necessarily a form of discrimination on the basis of sex and is therefore also outlawed by the Civil Rights Act. See Bostock v. Clayton County, and also see below for more details.
