The National Assembly (Arabic: الجمعية الوطنية السودانية, Al-Maǧlis al-Waṭaniy) was the lower house of the National Legislature of Sudan. The legislature was unicameral until 2005. The upper house was the Council of States (Majlis Welayat).

The National Assembly was dissolved on 11 April 2019 following a military coup which overthrew Sudan President Omar al-Bashir and Assembly's ruling National Congress Party.

As part of the Sudanese transition to democracy, a Transitional Legislative Council was to be formed which would function as the legislature of Sudan until elections scheduled for 2022. As of 2025, the Transitional Legislative Council has failed to be formed; rather, the members of the Transitional Sovereignty Council and Cabinet of Sudan constitute a Transitional Legislative Authority acting as Sudan's interim legislature.
