Estonian parliamentary elections, 1920 to form the I Riigikogu were held from 27 to 29 November 1920. Those were the first elections by the constitution of 1920. 100 deputies were elected into the new parliament by party lists in 10 regions, by which one party or electoral bloc could put up several lists in one region. Seats were still distributed on the state level, where votes for different lists were summed up by their political affiliance and then seats distributed using d'Hondt formula. Thereafter seats for one party or bloc were distributed between different lists of that political force using the same formula.

- Different sources give slightly different information about the results. Possibly the correct form could also be 4744 (1.0% - 1 seat) for one, and 3876 (0.8% - 0 seats) for another Russian force; the same way some of the other minor lists might be connected/not connected in different ways or named different names.
