Parliamentary elections were held in North Korea on 15 March 2026 to elect the members of the 15th Supreme People's Assembly.

With only one candidate on the ballot in each constituency, outside observers described it as a show election. 687 candidates for the DPRK deputies to the SPA were elected. North Korea's state media reported opposing votes, the first in a SPA election since 1957.
