The '''1970 Quebec general election''' was held on April 29, 1970, to elect members of the [[National Assembly of Quebec]]. The former Legislative Assembly had been renamed the "National Assembly" in 1968, with its members now known in English as Members of the National Assembly (MNAs). 

In the election, the [[Quebec Liberal Party]], led by [[Robert Bourassa]], defeated the incumbent [[Union Nationale (Quebec)|Union Nationale]], led by Premier [[Jean-Jacques Bertrand]].

This election marked the first appearance by a new party, the sovereigntist [[Parti Québécois]], led by former Liberal cabinet minister [[René Lévesque]]. The PQ won a modest seven seats and came second in the popular vote, although Lévesque was defeated in his own riding.

Only a few months after the election, Quebec faced a severe test with the [[October Crisis]], in which Liberal cabinet minister [[Pierre Laporte]] was kidnapped and assassinated by the [[Front de libération du Québec]], a violent pro-independence group.

The Union Nationale, which had governed Quebec through most of the 1940s and 1950s, would never come close to winning power again.  This was partly because a significant number of the Union Nationale's younger supporters had embraced sovereigntism and shifted their support to the PQ.

==Campaign==
The Liberals, Unionists and ''péquistes'' all fielded full slates, and the ''créditistes'' also nominated 99 candidates, so most constituencies experienced at least four-way contests:
