Two general elections were held in Bangladesh in 1996:

• Sixth parliamentary election on 15 February, which was won by BNP after Bangladesh Awami League, the other main party in Bangladesh, boycotted the elections.
• Seventh parliamentary election on 12 June, which was won by Bangladesh Awami League after BNP was forced to dissolve the parliament and hold impartial elections under the caretaker government.
