The Prussian Landtag referendum 1931 was a referendum to dissolve the Prussian Landtag or parliament held on the initiative of Der Stahlhelm ex-servicemen's organisation with the support of the Nazi Party and the German Communist Party.[1]

The referendum was held on 9 August 1931 and required 13.2 million votes to succeed. However, the referendum only gained 9.8 million votes, and thus failed.[2]: 120
