Parliamentary elections were held in Latvia on 5 and 6 June 1993,[1] the first after independence was restored in 1991.

A total of 23 parties participated in the elections, although only eight received 4% or more of votes and won seats.[2] Voter turnout was 91.2%, the highest in the country's history.[3] Only 66–75% of Latvian residents were citizens and qualified to vote, with the majority of those not able to vote being Russian.[4]
