Parliamentary elections were held in Czechoslovakia on 30 May 1948. They were the first elections held after the 1948 Czechoslovak coup d'etat in which the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia (KSČ) had seized complete power and set up an undisguised Communist regime. Beneš resigned three days after the elections, and Gottwald took over most presidential duties until his formal election as president 12 days later.
