Elections were held in the Australian state of Queensland on 17 May 1969 to elect the 78 members of the Legislative Assembly of Queensland.{{Cite web|url=http://elections.uwa.edu.au/elecdetail.lasso?keyvalue=795|title=Parliament of Queensland, Legislative Assembly election results for 17 May 1969|last=|first=|date=|website=Australian Politics and Elections Archive 1856-2018|publisher=University of Western Australia|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170331094631/http://elections.uwa.edu.au/elecdetail.lasso?keyvalue=795|archive-date=31 March 2017|access-date=2020-04-10}}
The Country-Liberal Coalition won its fifth consecutive victory since it won government in 1957. It was also the Coalition's first victory under new leader Joh Bjelke-Petersen after the brief premierships of Gordon Chalk and Jack Pizzey, who in turn had succeeded Frank Nicklin when he had retired the previous year.
The election campaign was characterised by tension between the governing coalition partners.

Results
{{see also|Results of the Queensland state election, 1969}}
The election resulted in another win for the Coalition, but a strengthening of the Country Party's position vis-a-vis the Liberal Party. Labor gained back two seats held by ex-Labor ministers who had defected in the 1957 split when both retired, and gained one seat off each of the coalition partners; however, the Country party gained the seat of Burdekin following the conservative independent incumbent's retirement. Labor retained Isis, which it had gained unexpectedly at a November 1968 by-election from the Country Party following Premier Jack Pizzey's death.
