The Iwate Prefectural Assembly (岩手県議会, Iwate-ken Gikai) is the prefectural parliament of Iwate.
Its 48 members are elected every four years in 16 districts by single non-transferable vote.
The assembly is responsible for enacting and amending prefectural ordinances, approving the budget and voting on important administrative appointments made by the governor including the vice governors.
Iwate is one of three prefectures whose assemblies are currently led by the DJP majority. The others are the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly and the Mie Prefectural Assembly.

The Iwate prefectural election, 2011 took place on July 12, 2009. As of April 4, 2012 the assembly was composed as follows:

Electoral districts
Most electoral districts correspond to current municipalities, but several districts correspond to former counties (the counties, abolished as administrative unit in 1921, had initially by definition served as electoral districts for prefectural assemblies in the Empire), namely the West Tama (Nishi-Tama), North Tama (Kita-Tama) and South Tama (Minimi-Tama) counties. The towns and villages on the islands have never been subordinate to counties, but to four subprefectures that together form the islands electoral district.
