General elections were held in British Honduras on 26 March 1961.

They were the first following a constitutional review, which had increased the number of elected seats from 9 to 18, whilst a further five members would be appointed by the Governor and two would be officials.

[1] The result was a victory for the ruling People's United Party, which won all 18 seats.

A third party formed by former PUP and NP members, the Christian Democratic Party, also fielded candidates.

Both parties failed to win seats.
