In the Quebec general election on November 25, 1935, the incumbent Quebec Liberal Party under Louis-Alexandre Taschereau were re-elected, defeating the Action libérale nationale under Paul Gouin and the Quebec Conservative Party under Maurice Duplessis.
It was the fourth and final general election victory in a row for Taschereau, who had held office since 1920. He would resign less than seven months later due to a scandal.
The Action libérale nationale was a newly-formed party led by Paul Gouin, son of former Liberal premier Lomer Gouin, and contained former Liberals who had become dissatisfied with the party. The ALN and Conservatives formed an alliance to contest this election, and after the election merged to formed the Union Nationale, which soon became a major political force.
