The 1832 British general election in Ireland saw the emergence of the Repeal Association as a major political movement in Ireland. The Association, led by Daniel O'Connell, aimed to repeal the 1800 Acts of Union and restore Ireland to the status enjoyed under Grattan's parliament, although this time with Catholic emancipation.

This was the first election following the Irish Reform Act 1832, which introduced wide ranging electoral reforms.
