General elections were held in the Netherlands on 15 May 1963.[1] The Catholic People's Party (KVP) remained the largest party, winning 50 of the 150 seats in the House of Representatives.[2]

The elections led to a four-party coalition government initially consisting of the KVP, People's Party for Freedom and Democracy, Anti-Revolutionary Party (ARP) and Christian Historical Union. In 1965 this coalition was replaced by one consisting of the KVP, Labour Party and ARP.
