The 1920 British Columbia general election was the fifteenth general election for the Province of British Columbia, Canada. It was held to elect members of the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia. The election was called on October 23, 1920, and held on December 1, 1920.

Although it lost eleven seats in the legislature, and fell from 50% of the popular vote to under 38%, the governing Liberal Party was able to hold on to a slim majority in the legislature for its second consecutive term in government. The Conservative Party also lost a significant share of its popular vote, but won six additional seats for a total of fifteen, and formed the Official Opposition. Almost a third of the vote and seven seats were won by independents and by a wide variety of fringe parties. This was the first general election in which women could vote and run for office.

Los conservadores, liderados por el expremier William John Bowser, obtuvieron 15 escaños, 6 más que en las elecciones pasadas, pero no lograron desterrar a los liberales. 3 independientes, y 4 laboristas (3 del Laborismo federado y 1 del Partido Popular) fueron electos también. Fue la primera elección en la que las mujeres tuvieron el derecho a sufragio, y que además pudieron ser candidatas.
