The 9th Legislature of the Third Portuguese Republic (Portuguese: IX Legislatura da Terceira República Portuguesa) ran from 5 April 2002 to 9 March 2005. The composition of the Assembly of the Republic, the legislative body of Portugal, was determined by the results of the 2002 legislative election, held on 17 March 2002.
President Jorge Sampaio dissolved Parliament and dismissed the government, then led by Pedro Santana Lopes, following a lack of trust in the government's capacity to govern. The Assembly was officially dissolved on 22 December 2004 and an election called for 20 February 2005.
