Parliamentary elections were held in Egypt on 21 December 1929.[1] The result was a victory for the Wafd Party, which won 198 of the 236 seats,[1] including 102 seats in which their candidates were returned unopposed.[2] Four independents were also returned unopposed.[2]

The elections were boycotted by the Liberal Constitutionalist Party, and only 26 Ittihad Party and four Watani Party candidates contested the elections.[2]
