The Lower Saxon State Parliament (German: Niedersächsischer Landtag) is the state parliament of the German federal state of Lower Saxony. It convenes in Hanover and currently consists of 152 members of five Parties. The current majority is a coalition of the Christian Democratic Union and the Free Democratic Party (FDP), supporting the cabinet of Minister-President Christian Wulff.

The Landtag is situated in the Leineschloss, a former residence of the kings of Hanover. After its destruction in World war II it was rebuilt from 1957 to 1962. Thus, from 1947 to 1962, the parliament of Lower Saxony convened in the Old town hall (Stadthalle Hanover).
