The 1994 Sabah state election was held between Friday, 18 February and Saturday, 19 February 1994. Nomination day was 7 February 1994. The election was one of the most controversial election in Sabah's political history. The election was won by the incumbent ruling party (although the opposition at federal level) Parti Bersatu Sabah (PBS), winning 25 state electorates against 23 won by the federal government's ruling Barisan Nasional coalition. However, due to defections by elected PBS assemblymen by way of establishments of new parties aligned to BN shortly after the election, PBS was forced out of power resulting in BN forming government in Sabah.

Fueron los últimos comicios que no se realizaron al mismo tiempo que las elecciones federales para el Dewan Rakyat. Esto se debió a que el Ministro Principal Joseph Pairin Kitingan las adelantó mucho más de un año antes del fin de la legislatura.

The outcome of this election and the defections resulted in the term katak being coined in, the literal meaning of which is "frog", due to the actions of PBS members "jumping" to another political party. After the election, PBS president Joseph Pairin Kitingan was sworn in as chief minister of Sabah. However, as a result of defections of PBS assemblymen to the BN, Pairin was forced to resign on 17 March 1994. PBS was left with 5 seats. Bernard Dompok formed PDS with 18 seats joined BN (PDS later changed name to UPKO). Joseph Kurup left PBS and formed PBRS. Jeffery Kitingan also left PBS and joined AKAR. Before the election, PBS had already produced 2 splinters, SAPP and AKAR, both which had contested under BN.

Fueron los últimos comicios que no se realizaron al mismo tiempo que las elecciones federales para el Dewan Rakyat. Esto se debió a que el Ministro Principal Joseph Pairin Kitingan las adelantó mucho más de un año antes del fin de la legislatura. El Partido Unido de Sabah (PBS), triunfó a pesar de su fuerte descenso y de la irrupción resonante del Barisan Nasional, encabezado por la Organización Nacional de los Malayos Unidos (UMNO), en el estado. El PBS logró el 49.90% de los votos, siendo la primera vez desde 1985 que no obtenía más de la mitad de los votos, y obtuvo 25 escaños, perdiendo la mayoría calificada de dos tercios. El BN logró polarizar notoriamente la elección y obtuvo el 46.77% y los 23 escaños restantes, quedando muy cerca de ganar. Pairin fue de este modo reelegido para otro mandato como Ministro Principal. Sin embargo, el oficialismo estatal salió muy debilitado de las elecciones, y un mes después una gran cantidad de diputados desertó al Barisan Nasional, facilitando la salida del poder del PBS y el ascenso de al ejecutivo estatal. Desde entonces, el PBS retornaría al BN, pero no volvería a gobernar Sabah, que sería gobernada por la coalición hasta 2018.
