Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 22 May 1926. The result was a victory for the Wafd Party, which won 171 of the 211 seats.

The ruling Ittihad Party led by Prime Minister Ahmed Ziwar Pasha and Minister of Finance Yahya Ibrahim Pasha, while clinging to power, was too weak to carry out an effective campaign. It failed to nominate more than 66 candidates, fewer than the seats won by the Wafdists.
