The 1837 United Kingdom general election was held on 24 July 1837 to 18 August 1837, to elect members of the House of Commons, the lower house of Parliament of the United Kingdom. Triggered by the death of King William IV, it produced the first Parliament of the reign of his successor, Queen Victoria. It saw Robert Peel's Conservatives close further on the position of the Whigs, who won their fourth election of the decade. The election marked the last time that a Parliament was dissolved as a result of the demise of the Crown. The dissolution of Parliament six months after a demise of the Crown, as provided for by the Succession to the Crown Act 1707, was abolished by the Reform Act 1867.
