The Forty-First Wisconsin Legislature convened in the U.S. state of Wisconsin from January 11, 1893, to April 21, 1893, in regular session. ^[1]

This was the first legislative session after the redistricting of the Senate and Assembly according to an act of the previous session.

Senators representing even-numbered districts were newly elected for this session and were serving the first two years of a four-year term. Assembly members were elected to a two-year term. Assembly members and even-numbered senators were elected in the general election of November 8, 1892. Senators representing odd-numbered districts were serving the third and fourth year of a four-year term, having been elected in the general election of November 4, 1890. ^[1]

The governor of Wisconsin during this entire term was Democrat George Wilbur Peck, of Milwaukee County, serving his second two-year term, having won re-election in the 1892 Wisconsin gubernatorial election.
