The Italian general election of 1994 took place on 27โ€“28 March 1994.

In 1993โ€“1994 the Tangentopoli scandals led to the disappearance of the main government parties, including Christian Democracy (DC) and the Italian Socialist Party (PSI). The DC successor, the Italian People's Party (PPI), was not able to retain the votes of its predecessor, which were largely absorbed by Liga Venetaโ€“Lega Nord and Forza Italia, the new party launched by entrepreneur Silvio Berlusconi. In a highly fragmented party system, Forza Italia came first with 23.6% and Liga Veneta second with 21.6%.
