General elections were held in the Netherlands on 26 May 1937. The Roman Catholic State Party remained the largest party in the House of Representatives, winning 31 of the 100 seats. Due to the outbreak of World War II two years later, the next general elections were not held until 1946.

The 1937 Senate election took place a day after the general election.
