The 1927 Prince Edward Island general election was held in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island on June 25, 1927.^[1]

The opposition Liberals led by Albert C. Saunders gained many seats to defeat the incumbent government of Conservative Premier James D. Stewart.

The Legislature of Prince Edward Island had two levels of membership from 1893 to 1996 - Assemblymen and Councillors. This was a holdover from when the Island had a bicameral legislature, the General Assembly and the Legislative Council.

In 1893, the Legislative Council was abolished and had its membership merged with the Assembly, though the two titles remained separate and were elected by different electoral franchises. Assembleymen were elected by all eligible voters of within a district, while Councillors were only elected by landowners within a district.^[2]
