The 1955 Legislative Assembly General Elections was held in Singapore on 2 April 1955 to elect twenty-five elective seats on the Legislative Assembly. Nomination day was on 28 February 1955.
A landmark election in the colonial history of Singapore, it was the first time a majority of the seats were to be contested as mandated by the newly-enacted Rendel Constitution, rather than be appointed by the colonial authorities.
