The 1910 general election was held on 24 April and 8 May 1910.

The elections resulted in a huge victory for the governing coalition of Radicals and Left Republicans (in large part due to the effective merger of the Radicals and Independent Radicals), allowing the incumbent premier Aristide Briand to form a second government.

Aristide Briand, himself an Independent Socialist, would unite his small, loosely-aligned, pro-government faction of socialists into the Republican-Socialist Party in 1911.
