Legislative elections were held in France on 1 and 8 May 1932 to elect the 15th legislature of the French Third Republic.

The elections saw the victory of the second Cartel des gauches, but the socialists and Radicals could not form a coalition government. Édouard Herriot instead formed a government with the support of the centre-right and Radicals held the premiership until the 6 February 1934 crisis.
