The Agricultural Panel (Irish: An Rolla Talmhaíochta) is one of five vocational panels which together elect 43 of the 60 members of Seanad Éireann, the upper house of the Oireachtas (the legislature of Ireland). The Agricultural Panel elects eleven senators, at least four of whom must come from the Oireachtas members' nominees and at least another three must come from the nominating bodies' nominees.
