The 133rd Delaware General Assembly was a meeting of the legislative branch of the state government, consisting of the Delaware Senate and the Delaware House of Representatives. Elections were held the first Tuesday after November 1 and terms began in Dover on the first Tuesday in January. This date was January 8, 1985, which was two weeks before the beginning of the first administrative year of Republican Governor Mike Castle from New Castle County and the first year for Democratic Lieutenant Governor S. B. Woo, also from New Castle County.

Currently the distribution of seats for both houses was based on the interpretation of the federal 1980 census. It resulted in a large numbers of membership numbers in the New Castle County area and ruling that the election districts would abandonment of county lines for their boundaries, but would design whatever district boundaries that would accomplish such population equals.

In the 133rd Delaware General Assembly session the Senate had a Democratic majority and the House had a Republican majority.
