An election of MEP representing Portugal constituency for the 1994-1999 term of the European Parliament was held on 12 June 1994.

In the closest nationwide election in Portuguese history, the Socialist Party (PS) polled just less than 0.5 percent ahead of the Social Democrats (PSD).

At that time, the PSD was in government for nearly 9 years, under Prime Minister Cavaco Silva, but the party suffered little wear.

The People's Party (CDS–PP), although losing some ground, was able to win back 3rd place with a very nationalist and anti-Europe speech.

The Democratic Unity Coalition (CDU) had a very poor performance, falling to 4th place, and losing both share of vote and seats.
