Parliamentary elections were held in the Empire of Brazil on 15 January 1886 to elect members of the 20th legislature of the Chamber of Deputies. These were the third direct elections held after the Saraiva Law was enacted (Law No. 3,029 of 9 January 1881) and the last elections held in the country before the military coup d'état that overthrew emperor Pedro II and installed the Brazilian Republic.[1] The Conservative Party won 103 seats, the Liberal Party won 22, and the Republican Party won none.[2] The chamber was later dissolved on 17 June 1889.[1]
