  • Les élections législatives ceylanaises de 1956 ont lieu au Dominion de Ceylan, l'actuel Sri Lanka, le 5 avril 1956. Le résultat de cette élection amène un changement majeur dans le pays : c'est la première fois que le parti au gouvernement, l'UNP, perd sa place de majorité. Selon la constitution ceylanaise, le poste de Premier ministre va donc au leader du parti majoritaire à l'assemblée, le parti socialiste Sri Lanka Freedom Party . (fr)
