The 54th Delaware General Assembly (1830–1831) 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 on the first Tuesday of October, and terms began on the first Tuesday in January. It met in Dover, convening on January 5, 1830, two weeks before the beginning of the first year of Governor David Hazzard's administration.

Seats were permanently assigned to three senators and seven representatives for each of the three counties. The county's population did not affect the number of delegates. Both chambers had a National Republican majority.
