Periodic elections for the Tasmanian Legislative Council were held on 1 August 2020. They were initially planned for 30 May; however, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the electoral commission delayed the date of the election until August, in anticipation for the next Legislative Council sitting date on 25 August.[1][2]

The two seats up for election were Huon and Rosevears. They were previously contested in 2014.
