Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 3 July 1957, having originally been scheduled for November 1956, but postponed due to the Suez Crisis.^[1] They were the first elections since the 1952 revolution, which saw King Farouk overthrown, the Republic of Egypt established and the approval of a new constitution in a June 1956 referendum.

A new electoral law was approved on 10 March 1957, which required all candidates to be members of the National Union,^[2] although nearly 50% of candidates were rejected by army officials for being "undesirable" or "unworthy".^[1] They were also the first elections in Egypt in which women had the right to vote or stand for election.^[3] Despite only six women contesting the election out of a total of over 2,000 candidates, and 70% of Egyptian men being against their presence in parliament,^[4] Rawya Ateya and Amina Shukri were elected, becoming the first women parliamentarians in the Arab world.^[3][5]

Following its election, the 350-member National Assembly was seated on 22 July.^[6] However, it had little power, with its votes against government policy being ignored by President Gamal Abdel Nasser.^[1] The Assembly was dissolved on 10 February 1958 following Egypt and Syria merging to form of the United Arab Republic, and the establishment of a joint National Assembly with 400 members from Egypt and 200 from Syria.^[6]
