The Legislature XIX of Italian Republic (Italian: XIX Legislatura della Repubblica Italiana) is the 19th and current Italian Parliament, which was elected at the 2022 general election on 25 September and convened on 12 October. As per the 2020 Italian constitutional referendum, the size of the Chamber of Deputies was reduced from 630 to 400, and the Senate's elective membership was reduced from 315 to 200 (for a total of 205 Senators, including appointed life members).

The largest party in both chambers is Brothers of Italy, led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. The centre-right coalition supporting the Meloni government controls a majority in both chambers
