The United Kingdom general election of January 1910 was held from 15 January to 10 February 1910.
The election produced a hung parliament, with the Conservative Party led by Arthur Balfour receiving the largest number of votes, and the Liberals led by Herbert Asquith returning two more MPs than the Conservatives. A second election was soon held in December.
The Labour Party was led by Arthur Henderson and the Irish Parliamentary Party by John Redmond.
