Manitoba's general election of December 16, 1962 was held to elect Members of the Legislative Assembly of the Province of Manitoba, Canada. It resulted in a second majority victory for the Progressive Conservative Party under the leadership of Dufferin Roblin. Roblin's Tories won 36 seats, against 13 for the Liberals, seven for the New Democratic Party, and one for the Social Credit Party.
Note that voting was deferred until January 4, 1963 in the northern ridings of Churchill and Rupertsland, as well as in the Winnipeg riding of Kildonan.
