General elections were held in Liechtenstein on 7 February 1993. Although the Patriotic Union won the most votes, the Progressive Citizens' Party won the most seats, whilst the Free List obtained representation in the Landtag the first time. Voter turnout was 87.54%.[1] Fresh elections were subsequently held in October.

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.
