General elections were held in Liberia in May 1899. In the presidential election, incumbent William D. Coleman of the True Whig Party was re-elected for a second full term. His first, partial term was spent completing the term of President Joseph James Cheeseman who had died in office. Coleman defeated Anthony D. Williams Jr. of the National Union.

Initially, the TWP nominated F. E. R. Johnson for the vice presidency, but he declined. Incumbent Vice President Joseph J. Ross was ultimately endorsed by both major parties for the position.
