The 1937 Australian Federal election will be held in Australia on 1 March 1937. All 74 seats in the House of Representatives, and 19 of the 36 seats in the Senate were up for election. This election was called approximately 8 months early than when incumbent Prime Minister Joseph Lyons intended to call it as his death in January of 1937 resulted in political instability that was resolved only with the appointment of John Curtin as caretaker Prime Minister and the holding of this immediate election. It will be contested by the Australian Labor Party, the UAP/Country Party Coalition and the newly formed Liberal Party of Australia.
