}}{{Politics of Belgium}}

Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 8 June 1847.^[1] The result was a victory for the new Liberal Association, which had been formed the previous year.^[2] It won 33 seats to the Catholics' 21, as the latter were split into dogmatic and liberal groups.^[2] Voter turnout was 77%,^[3] although only 1% of the country's population was eligible to vote.^[4]

Under the alternating system, Chamber elections were only held in four out of the nine provinces: East Flanders, Hainaut, Liège and Limburg. Thus, 54 of the 108 Chamber seats were up for election. The total number of Chamber seats increased from 98 to 108 following a reapportionment due to population increases.

While the liberals gained a majority in the Chamber, the Catholics retained theirs in the Senate. Following the election, the Catholic government led by Barthélémy de Theux de Meylandt resigned. After a political crisis of two months, a liberal government was formed on 12 August 1847, headed by Charles Rogier. The liberals would go on to win the 1848 elections.
