The Assembly of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Скупштина Србије и Црне Горе, Skupština Srbije i Crne Gore) also known as the Parliament of Serbia and Montenegro (Serbian: Парламент Србије и Црне Горе, Parlament Srbije i Crne Gore) was the legislative body of Serbia and Montenegro. The assembly was unicameral and was made up of 126 deputies, of which 91 were from Serbia and 35 were from Montenegro. The assembly was established in 1992 as the National Assembly of Yugoslavia as a direct replacement for National Assembly of Yugoslavia and was renamed in 2003. With the declaration of independence of Montenegro on June 3, 2006, the national assembly was dissolved.

From the beginning, the Federal Assembly was a bicameral legislature and had 178 deputies, 138 in the House of Citizens (108 from Serbia, 30 from Montenegro) and 40 in the House of Republics (20 representatives for each republic). The minimum number of representatives in the House of Citizens, which were based on the population, was 30 representatives, while the House of Republics had an even representation of 20 representatives times the number of republics. A constitutional amendment in July 2000, as a compromise between the resignation of the Milošević cabinet and the opposition made the assembly's members elected, with the early elections set for September 24, 2000.
