The Ontario general election, 1926 was the seventeenth general election held in the Province of Ontario, Canada. It was held to elect the 112 Members of the Legislative Assembly (or "MLAs").

The Ontario Conservative Party, led by George Howard Ferguson, was re-elected for a second term in government, despite losing a few setas in the Legislature.

The Ontario Liberal Party, led by W.E.N. Sinclair, maintained its 14 seats. After the defeat of the United Farmers of Ontario in the previous election, the farmers organization decided to withdraw from electoral politics and most UFO MPPs redesignated themselves as Progressives with former UFO Attorney-General William Edgar Raney becoming party leader. Nevertheless, several MPPs, including Raney himself, continuted to run as cadidates endorsed by local UFO associations despite the decision of the organization as a whole not to run in elections. The Progressive/UFO faction won 13 seats. As well, four Liberal-Progressive candidates were elected, along with various independents.

Results

*UFO and Progressive MPPs sat in the same caucus led by William Raney . Whether candidates ran as UFO or Progressives was a function of the situation in each riding rather than being a matter of political differences.
