The 1900 Newfoundland general election was held on 8 November 1900 to elect members of the 19th General Assembly of Newfoundland in the self-governing British colony. The Liberal Party led by Robert Bond formed the government. The railway policy of the Conservative government under James S. Winter was highly unpopular, which led to the party's defeat under Alfred Morine's leadership.
