The Haryana Legislative Assembly is the unicameral legislature of the state of Haryana in North India. Its seat is at Chandigarh, the capital of the state, and it sits for a term of five years unless it is dissolved early. Haryana is India's twelfth-smallest state by population and the ninth-smallest by area. The assembly was created along with the state in 1967 after the passing of the Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966. The Haryana Legislative Assembly has had 15 terms since its creation. After the latest election in 2024, the assembly is governed by the Bharatiya Janata Party, which won 48 out of the 90 seats. The Indian National Congress, the largest opposition party, has 37 seats.

Constituency boundaries are periodically redrawn by the delimitation commission which tries to keep them as geographically compact areas, and with due consideration to existing boundaries of administrative units. The latest census is used to draw the boundaries and every assembly constituency has to be completely within a parliamentary constituency. Since 1977, the Haryana Assembly has had 90 single-seat constituencies, each of which directly elects a representative based on a first past the post election.

Since the independence of India from the United Kingdom in 1947, the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) have been given reservation status, guaranteeing political representation, and the Constitution lays down the general principles of positive discrimination for SCs and STs. According to the 2011 census of India the Scheduled Castes constitute of the population of the state, while there are no people of any Scheduled Tribes. Accordingly, the Scheduled Castes have been granted a reservation of 17 seats in the assembly.
