Legislative elections were held in El Salvador between 12 and 14 January 1932.

In the preceding municipal elections on 3–5 January, the Communists won several predominantly indigenous municipalities in the west of the country. However, the Maximiliano Hernández Martínez government cancelled the planned second round of the legislative and municipal elections due to the Communist success. The conservative Progressive Fraternal Party boycotted the elections in San Salvador on the grounds of electoral fraud.

The two main parties, the National Party and Liberal Party, had agreed before the election to split the Congressional seats equally between them, with each party being awarded 32 of the 64 seats. Additional one seat was to be allocated to the winner of the presidential elections as the president was entitled to one seat in parliament, while both parties were to be equally represented in the Supreme Court in all state institutions including the Government. Ramón Ernesto Cruz Uclés of the National Party won the presidential election with 53% of the vote. Approximately 40% out of total of around 900,000 voters abstained from voting at the elections.
