Parliamentary elections were held in Mongolia on 28 June 1992, ^[1] the first to be held after the adoption of the 1992 constitution. ^[2] The result was a victory for the Mongolian People's Revolutionary Party (MPRP), which won 70 of the 76 seats in the State Great Khural. Voter turnout was 96%. ^[3]

During the campaign the MPRP distanced itself from Marxism-Leninism, framing itself instead as a centrist party. ^[4] However, the leadership of the party was the same as during the communist period. ^[5] The success of the MPRP in the elections was considered surprising. ^[5]
