Louis-Jules Trochu Independent Jules Dufaure Independent Legislative elections were held in France on 8 February 1871 to elect the first legislature of the Third French Republic, the unicameral National Assembly.

The elections were held during a situation of crisis in the country, as following the Franco-Prussian War, 43 departments were occupied by Prussian forces.

As a result, all public meetings were outlawed and Paris was the only city where an election campaign took place.

By-elections were subsequently held on 2 July to elect representatives for the 114 vacant seats.

The elections saw the victory of monarchists (Legitimists and Orleanists), who were favourable to a restoration of the monarchy and peace with the German Empire, with the two groups winning a large majority.
