The 1994 Saxony-Anhalt state election was held on 26 June 1994 to elect the members of the 2nd Landtag of Saxony-Anhalt. The incumbent government of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and Free Democratic Party (FDP) led by Minister-President Christoph Bergner was defeated. The FDP suffered a 10-point swing and lost its seats in the Landtag, while the CDU narrowly remained the largest party with 34.4% of votes. After the election, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) formed a minority government with The Greens, tolerated by the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS). This new government became known as the "Magdeburg model".
