The Fourth Dáil

This is a list of members who were elected to the 4th Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Oireachtas (legislature) of the Irish Free State. These Teachtaí Dála (Members of Parliament) were elected at the 1923 general election and served until 1927. Although Cumann na nGaedheal did not have a majority, it was able to govern due to the absence of Republicans (Anti-Treaty Sinn Féin) who refused to attend. The 4th Dáil lasted 1,382 days.

The list of the 153 TDs elected, is given in alphabetical order by constituency.
