The 1996 Sierra prefectural election was held on Saturday 4 May 1996 to elect the 25 members of the Sierra Prefectural Assembly. The gubernatorial election was held on the same date.
The incumbent first-term Social Democratic government, in office since 1992 and led by Premier Daniel Ramirez since January 1996, was seeking a second term. It suffered a large defeat, falling from first to third place in the legislature. The Conservative Party, led by Rob Baker, jumped from three to 10 seats, becoming the largest party. The National Party, led by John Broderick, remained the Official Opposition.
The Conservative Party formed a minority government with Baker as premier, supported by three independent MPs. The Baker Government would go on to lose a vote of no confidence in July 1998, leading to the formation of a National–SDP coalition government.
