This is a list of members of the second Free State Provincial Legislature as elected in the election of 2 June 1999. In that election, the African National Congress (ANC) consolidated its majority in the legislature, winning 25 of 30 seats. The Democratic Party (DP), with two seats, was represented in the legislature for the first time. Also with two seats, the New National Party (NNP) had halved its minority, as had the Freedom Front (FF), which retained only one seat.

The ANC's Winkie Direko was elected as the third Premier of the Free State. She was a newcomer to the provincial legislature, as were 18 of the other 24 members of the ANC's caucus.[1] The caucus was reshuffled in June 2001, with some ANC members swopping seats with national legislators.[2]
