General elections were held in Luxembourg on 30 May 1954. The Christian Social People's Party won 26 of the 52 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.

The elections were the general elections held after the Bech-Bodson government changed the electoral system. Previously, partial elections were held every three years in which half the seats in the Chamber were elected, with deputies serving six-year terms. The changes reduced deputies' terms to five years, with all seats elected at the same time.

The government, a coalition of the Christian Social People's Party (CSV), and the Luxembourg Socialist Workers' Party, remained in power following the elections.
