Legislative elections were held in French Polynesia on 3 November 1957 for the Territorial Assembly.[1] The result was a victory for the ruling Democratic Rally of the Tahitian People (RDPT) led by Pouvanaa a Oopa,[2] which won 17 of the 30 seats.
Following the elections, Jean-Baptiste Céran-Jérusalémy was elected President of the Assembly on 10 December. A new government was formed later in the month,[1] including Walter Grand who had lost heavily in the Windward Islands constituency running on the France Tahiti list.[3]

However, following protests about an income tax law, the government was sacked by Governor Camille Victor Bailly in April 1958. Bailly subsequently appointed a new government led by Alfred Poroi.[4]
Following the death of Tautu Oopa in 1961, his wife Céline won a by-election on 8 October 1961, becoming the first woman to sit in the Assembly.[5]
