Formula enakmen, atau klausa enakmen, adalah satu kata-kata pendek (seperti tetapi bukan mukadimah) yang memperkenalkan peruntukan-peruntukan utama undang-undang yang dikuatkuasakan badan perundangan. Ia lazimnya mengistiharkan sumber di mana undang-undang itu mendapat kuasanya. Dalam negara lain formula enakmen tidak dianggap perlu dan diabaikan.

Formula enakmen paling mudah hanya menyatakan badan perundangan yang mana undang-undang terpakai, sebagai contoh di Malaysia semenjak tahun 1995 formula yang terpakai adalah "DIPERBUAT oleh Parlimen Malaysia seperti berikut:". Secara alternatifnya suatu formula enakmen boleh merujuk kepada komponen-komponen satu perundangan seperti formula enakmen yang terpakai di Malaysia sebelum tahun 1995:

MAKA INILAH DIPERBUAT UNDANG-UNDANG oleh Seri Paduka Baginda Yang di-Pertuan Agong dengan nasihat dan persetujian Dewan Negara dan Dewan Rakyat yang bersidang dalam Parlimen, dan dengan kuasa daripadanya, seperti berikut:

Meskipun kebanyakan formlua enakmen menggariskan badan perundangan sebagai sumber kuasa undang-undang, sesetengahnya mengikut seperti yang dikonsepkan dalam kedaulatan rakyat, dan memetik 'rakyat'. Sebagai contoh di California, formula enakmen adalah "Rakyat Negeri California membuat seperti berikut:".
