General elections were held in East Germany on 8 June 1986.

500 deputies were elected to the Volkskammer, with all of them being candidates of the single-list National Front.

703 Front candidates were put forward, with 500 being elected and 203 becoming substitute deputies.

At its first session on 16 June, the Volkskammer re-elected Willi Stoph as Chairman of the Council of Ministers, while Erich Honecker, General Secretary of the ruling Socialist Unity Party, was also re-elected Chairman of the State Council.

This would be the last election held in East Germany before the Peaceful Revolution in 1989, three years into the Volkskammer's term.
