Parliamentary elections were held in South Yemen between 28 and 30 October 1986, having originally been scheduled for 1983, but later postponed. A total of 181 candidates contested the 111 seats of the Supreme People's Council. Although the country was a one-party state at the time, with the Yemeni Socialist Party as the sole legal party, independents were also able to run as candidates.
The result was a victory for the Socialist Party, which won 71 seats. Voter turnout was reported to be 89%.
