General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 1 and 3 February 1974. The result was a victory for the Progressive Citizens' Party, which won 8 of the 15 seats in the Landtag. Voter turnout was 95.3%, although only male citizens were allowed to vote.[1] This was the last election contested by the Christian Social Party.

Note that the total number of votes is lower than the total for the parties, as each voter has as many votes as there are seats in a constituency, and thus can cast multiple votes.
