The Vyvlander general election, 1932 was the last general election held to the Parliament of the Kingdom of Vyvland before its split in 1935. The election was held just a month before the country was plunged into civil war between the Nationalist Movement, by far the largest party after the election, and the monarchist establishment, which led to the country's split into North and South Vyvland.

The overarching result of the election was the massive and sudden growth of the Nationalist Movement led by Jeusev Jueves, which won 37% of the seats overall; more than double the seats of its closest rival, the Radical Party. All three of the main establishment parties - the Radical Party, the Conservative Christian Alliance, and the Socialist Party - lost a large number of seats, but still formed a coalition government with the Labour Party and Free Liberal Party. The rightwing parties of this government insisted that moderate Radical Mafjas Tupper should head the government, instead of the popular but more leftwing Joop van Daal, the Radical leader.

The defeat was particularly severe for the Conservative Christian Alliance, which lost two-fifths of its vote and came third - the first time it had not won the most votes in a national election since its formation. The Communist Party of Vyvland - a dissenting splitter group from the larger Labour Party - won its first seats, in Stanmer province.

The was the last election in Vyvland or North Vyvland to be held under the former full proportional representation system, which was seen to have encouraged the growth of the Nationalist Movement. All elections since have been held under a parallel voting or mixed-member proportional system.
