Legislative elections are scheduled to be held in France by 2029 to elect all 577 members of the 18th National Assembly of the Fifth French Republic.

The 2024 elections resulted in a hung parliament and a minority government led by Michel Barnier being appointed by president Emmanuel Macron. However, the government soon collapsed due to a no confidence vote. Macron then appointed François Bayrou as the new prime minister. The Constitution of France states "no new dissolution may be carried out within one year of these elections." The National Assembly will therefore remain in session until at least July 2025. However the absence of a stable majority means the current government lives under the threat of a future vote of no confidence as well as losing parliamentary votes which has led to speculations of snap elections taking place well ahead of 2029.
