General elections were held in Liberia in 1927. In the presidential election the result was a victory for Charles D. B. King of the True Whig Party, who was re-elected for a third term after defeating Thomas J. R. Faulkner of the People's Party. Faulkner had previously served as the mayor of Monrovia, and ran a campaign based on reform of labor laws.

The elections have been referred to as "the most rigged ever" by Frances Johnson-Morris, a modern head of the country's National Elections Commission, and were listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the most fraudulent election in history. Despite there being only 19,000 registered voters, according to the official results, King received around 230,000 votes to Faulkner's 9,000.
