The Parliament of Dalmatia (Croatian: Dalmatinski sabor; Serbian: Dalmatinski sabor; Italian: Dieta della Dalmazia) was the regional parliament of the former Kingdom of Dalmatia within the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was founded in 1861 in Zadar and was eventually abondaned in the early 1900s.

The Autonomists (pro-Italian) held their position as the parliamentary majority from the founding of the Dalmatian parliament until 1870, when the People's Party (Croatian) won the parliamentary elections that year.

The first two Populist Presidents were Serbs, while the latter three were Croats.
