Partial general elections were held in Belgium on 24 May 1908.[1] The result was a victory for the Catholic Party, which won 37 of the 82 seats in the Chamber of Representatives.[2] The François Schollaert government remained in office.

Under the alternating system, elections were only held in four out of the nine provinces: Hainaut, Limburg, Liège and East Flanders.
