Elections to the French National Assembly were held in Chad and Ubangi-Shari on 17 June 1951. The territories elected four seats to the Assembly via two electoral colleges. The first college spanned both territories and elected one seat, whilst Chad elected two seats via the second college and Ubangi-Shari one. René Malbrant was re-elected from the first college, and Barthélémy Boganda from the second in Ubangi-Shari. In the second college in Chad, both seats were won by the Chadian Democratic Union, and were taken by Mohamed Bechir-Sow and Quatre Sou Quatre.
