Parliamentary elections were held in Iraq on 5 May 1958.[1] Most political parties had been dissolved in 1954, but candidates supportive of the government won 140 of the 145 seats, whilst independent candidates won the remaining five.[2]

On 14 July the government was overthrown in a military coup.
