General elections were held in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines on 7 December 2005. The result was a repeat of the 2001 general election with the ruling Unity Labour Party retaining all twelve of its seats and the opposition New Democratic Party retaining its three. However, the NDP saw a nearly 4-point swing in its share of the popular vote. Ralph Gonsalves remained Prime Minister.
