The next Portuguese legislative election will take place on or before 14 October 2029 to elect members of the Assembly of the Republic to the 18th Legislature of Portugal. All 230 seats to the Assembly of the Republic will be at stake.

The 2025 elections resulted in a hung parliament and the formation of a minority government led by Luís Montenegro. An election may occur before the scheduled date if the President of Portugal dissolves Parliament for a snap election or if the Assembly of the Republic passes a motion of no confidence in the government. Early elections are more likely during minority governments, as the Prime Minister does not command a majority in the Assembly.
