The Constitution of Abelden (German: Verfassung von Abelden) is the fundamental law of the Abeldane Empire. It was adopted on 19 November 2018, replacing the former Constitution of 2016. The 2018 Constitution is the Empire's third constitution in its entire history and was enacted into by Emperor Newton.

The constitution reformed the structure of the government and divided into three, namely the Emperor-in-Council, the Emperor-in-Parliament and the Emperor-on-Bench, and made the duties, functions and powers of each branch clear and concise compared to the previous constitution. It also clearly dictated the rights of the citizens and the founders and formal procedure for creating a state or the dissolution or independence of a state. Several amendments since the enactment of the constitution and the most notable is the abolition of the independent judiciary.

The Constitution is entirely written in English and composed of around 3000 words in total.
