The first elections to the Nagaland Legislative Assembly were held in January 1964 to elect members of the 40 constituencies in Nagaland, India. There were no political parties registered and so all the candidates fought as Independents. P. Shilu Ao was appointed as the first Chief Minister of Nagaland.

Nagaland was converted to a state by the State of Nagaland Act, 1962[1] and elections were called for in 1964.
