The 1933 Northern Ireland general election was held on 30 November 1933. Like all previous elections to the Parliament of Northern Ireland, it produced a large majority for the Ulster Unionist Party.

33 of the 52 MPs (63%) were elected unopposed, the largest number in the history of the House of Commons. The vast majority of those elected without a contest were Ulster Unionists.
