1855 Faroese general election

General elections were held in the Faroe Islands in 1855. Eighteen members were elected from seven constituencies, an increase from sixteen, with one additional seat granted to the Eysturoy and Suðurstreymoy constituencies. The Danish administrator (Amtmaður) and the local dean (Próstur) were also members, with the administrator serving as the speaker.

Aftermath
Norðurstreymoy representative Niels Winther left the Faroes in 1857 and a by-election was held on 7 August. Of the 135 registered voters, only eight voted, all of whom voted for Hans Christopher Müller.

Gerhardt Sigvart Rehling also left the country in 1857 and was replaced by Jacob Nolsøe.
