French legislative elections to elect the 15th legislature of the French Third Republic were held on 1 and 8 May 1932.

These elections saw the victory of the second Cartel des gauches, but the socialists and Radicals could not form a coalition government. Édouard Herriot instead formed a government with the support of the centre-right, and Radicals held the premiership up to the 6 February 1934 crisis.
