The Congress of the State of Yucatán (Spanish: Congreso del Estado de Yucatán; Yucatec Maya: u Noj Mola’ayil u Péetlu’umil Yucatán), or simply the Congress of Yucatán, is the legislative branch of the government of the State of Yucatán. The Congress is the governmental deliberative body of Yucatán, which is equal to, and independent of, the executive and the judiciary. The Congress of Yucatán is an unicameral legislature.

The current session of the Congress consists of 35 deputies (21 elected by the first-past-the-post system and 14 by proportional representation). Deputies are elected to serve for a three-year term with the possibility of re-election for an additional term.

Since its installation the congress has been renewed 64 times; the current legislature was elected in 2024, and it is known as the LXIV Legislature of the Congress of Yucatán.
