The 1856 United States elections elected the members of the 35th United States Congress and the President to serve from 1857 until 1861. The elections took place during a major national debate over slavery,with the issue of "Bleeding Kansas" taking center stage. Along with the 1854 elections,these elections occurred during the transitional period immediately preceding the Third Party System.

Minnesota and Oregon joined the union before the next election,and elected their respective Congressional delegations to the 35th Congress.
